"Leave a Reply: An Analysis of Weblog Comments:

There will be a presentation at the WWW2006 conference that sounds fascinating.

Large scale analysis of blogs conclude among other things that

  • comments constitute approximately 30% of blog posts
  • comments are indicators of popularity of the page
  • comments can be analyzed to determine the level of controversy of a topic

This is an interesting computational study classifying text for disputes

  • frequency counts ("i don't think that", "you are wrong", and so on)
  • extreme punctuation (!!!!!!!!!!!)
  • polarity (disputes more likely to have a negative tone)
  • referral (disagreements usually include references to previous content or authors)
  • length of post (disagreement usually were in longer threads)

nice site :]

That's interesting about comments and blogs, they are slightly symbiotic if I do say so myself. Good read!

WOoOW, I didn't know about this statistic before.
I think the comments is good because It's provide unique content to the blog, but it's also bad because sometimes people spam the blog.
Anyway I disable the comments in my blog

A blog wouldn't be a blog without the comments from other people - i think its a great idea.
