Differences between Blogs and Web Diaries

Toshiaki Fujiki (speaker), Tomoyuki Nanno, and Manabu Okumura

There had been many "web diaries" before the blogs arrived in Japan. In this paper, we discuss whether the differences between blogs and "web diaries" are significant for text mining or not. We conducted experiments to find the differences by comparing hot topic words automatically extracted from blogs and web diaries. The results suggested that we could obtain better results by using blogs and web diaries together rather than by only using the RSS data of blogs.
