Abstract

There has been virtually little in the way of user interfaces designed for the exploration and information gathering from large weblog datasets to allow for an integrated and aggregated knowledge collection and information analysis tool. Users have to rely on their own capability to find, select or filter entries and navigate through a blog archive. For weblogs with a large collection of entries this task easily becomes tedious, since current blog interfaces lack fundamental support for facilitating the exploration of their archives. A solution to this problem could be POSTCONNECT, a mature blog-archive visualization tool presented in this paper.
