Blogs are becoming an important social tool. By means of blogs, bloggers share their likes and dislikes, express their opinions, report news and form groups related to some subjects. Thus, the available information on the Blogsphere can certainly helps in the creation of interesting applications in various domains, such as e-learning, e-commerce, and e-government. However, due to the increasing number of blogs posted every day on the Web, and the dynamic nature of the Blogsphere, the tasks of collecting and extracting relevant information from blogs have become hard and time consuming. In this paper, we use techniques both from information retrieval and information extraction fields to deal with this problem. Since the blogs have many points of variability it is necessary to provide applications that can be easily adapted. We present the RetriBlog system, a framework for the development of blog crawlers dealing the variations in blogs. This paper presents the RetriBlog details and an evaluation of the proposed algorithms.
