Modelling the Complex Dynamics of Public Opinion Propagation in Micro-Blogging.
2018
The purpose of this paper is to attempt to analyze the propagation of public opinion in micro-blogging. We proposed a Micro-blogging read-post model based on a well-known diffusion model and presented its system of equations. We carried out a global qualitative analysis of the model with latent and constant recruitment, then studied the existence and stability of the public opinion vanishing and prevailing equilibrium points. An empirical study of the model was conducted using data automatically collected from a typical case on Sina Weibo, a microblogging platform with the largest number of registered users and active users in China. Simulation results showed that our model can fit data in …

Blogging as a research and educational tool: a three years experience
2008
Abstract Blogging can be also used to share knowledge in research and education. We have been using many blogs with the following purposes. One goal has been to raise awareness about research methods in the information technology field by supporting information exchange, collaboration, and cooperation between researchers. We have been using a common blog for 3 years to share inter- and intra disciplinary knowledge among us. We have also collected stories and interviewed colleagues and friends. An other goal is the use of blogs during our teaching experience as an instrument to support the exchange of knowledge with students. A comparison of the use of blogging is presented with positive and…
Communicating with home, coping without home – Trusting to the mediating capacity of blogging
2021
Abstract In the early 21st century, blogs exploded onto the digital media scene and soon became a popular means of travel writing. However, rather than considering blogs as a straightforward tool to simply share stories and experiences, in this article, we set out to explore the role of blogs as a mediating technology (Verbeek, 2005a), especially during difficult times abroad. By analysing the blogs of expatriate Australians who were volunteers in Bangladesh in 2014/2015 as well as interviews with the bloggers, we are able to show how the blogs' affordances inform the coping process, highlighted, in particular, in an active and highly reflective engagement with the blog's unique situatednes…
Dog blogs as ventriloquism: Authentication of the human voice
2015
This paper looks at personal blogging by dog owners in an international, English language blogsite in which dog owners from around the world report and reflect upon their dogs and their lives with dogs, and do so by using the dog׳s voice. It approaches dog blogs as an example of the strategic use of pervasive but contentious anthropomorphic western discourses about animals and discusses how dog bloggers use anthropomorphism as a discursive means for crafting and collectively ratifying authenticity in a translocal, interest-driven and informal social media context in which traditional territorial and demographic parameters of authenticity are not easily available or relevant. More specifical…

Towards a pragmatics of weblogs
2007
The weblog has emerged as one of the most dynamic means of Internet communication, in which users upload whatever piece of information they consider might arouse other users’ attention. Many articles and books have already addressed this new communicative phenomenon, but so far the weblog has not been addressed in purely cognitive-pragmatic terms. This article provides a first relevance-theoretic pragmatic analysis of the discourse of weblogs and their communicative qualities and limitations. El weblog ha surgido como una de las formas más dinámicas de comunicación, en la cual los usuarios de Internet “cuelgan” cualquier información que consideran que puede atraer la atención de otros usuar…
Puhutaan bloggaamisesta : blogipuhe tekstilajia rakentamassa
2016
Tarkastelen tutkielmassani lifestyleblogien metalingvististä diskurssia eli kielestä puhumista, jota kutsun blogipuheeksi. Blogipuheella tarkoitan blogissa esiintyvää puhetta, jossa kirjoittaja määrit-telee ja merkityksellistää omia motiivejaan ja ajatuksiaan blogigenrestä ja bloggaamisesta rakenta-en samalla tekstilajiin liittyviä yhteisiä normeja. Tavoitteenani on selvittää, miten bloggaajat pu-huvat blogeista ja bloggaamisesta ja millaisia merkityksiä he niille antavat. Tutkimuksessani poh-din myös sitä, millaiseksi blogigenre tutkimustulosteni pohjalta hahmottuu. Tutkimuskysymykseni ovat seuraavat: 1) Miten bloggaajat puhuvat blogeista? 2) Millaisia normeja blogiin tekstilajina rakentuu…
