摘要
A Blogosphere is a complex network of blogs with mutual links, citations, reviews and comments. It is a new manifestation of the social network and reflects a new kind of social relationship among people in the Internet era. This phenomenon has attracted a great deal of public attention and research interests. In this research, we employed the link analysis (LA) method on Sina's VIP Blogosphere. After obtaining the link relationship of the Blogosphere members, we used the social network analysis (SNA) method to explore the structural features of the Blogosphere and the behavior patterns of its members. We also tried to map the link relationship shown in the Blogospheres to the real-life relationship and obtained good consistency.
