Recently, blogs have attracted much attention as personal media. The power of blogs as a way to provide valuable resources on Internet is so tremendous because of the high speed of information dissemination and the huge influence of the circulated information on Internet users even when the information itself is not true. Especially, contents on blogs that attract a lot of public attention are sometimes reproduced or magnified in an inappropriate way. In this paper, a method to measure the trust level of contents posted on personal blogs is proposed to reduce the damage of wrong information circulated along with blog networks. Trust variables such as relationship data in SNS are used to measure the comparative trust level of blog contents. The structure of the prototype system is also designed to apply this framework to blogsphere.

최근 소셜 미디어(Social Media)라는 말은 컴퓨터 관련 연구분야에 종사하는 사람들 뿐만 아니라 일반 사람들도 모르는 사람이 없을만큼 중요하고, 많이 쓰이는 말이다. 본 연구에서는 인터넷과 통신기기의 발달로 이러한 소셜 미디어들이 사용자들이 감당할 수 없을 만큼 생성되지만 이러한 소셜 미디어를 어떻게 사용하고 효율적으로 묶어서 표현해야 하는지에 관한 연구이다. 소셜미디어의 종류에는 블로그, 소셜 네트워킹 서비스(SNS), 위키, UCC, 마이크로 블로그 등으로 나누어진다. 본 연구에서는 Social Media를 기반으로 Tangible Blog를 위한 콘텐츠를 저작하는 시스템에 관한 연구를 진행한다. 여기서 소셜미디어는 일반적으로 사용되는 사진, 동영상, 효과음, 텍스트에 3D Contents를 추가는 것을 목표로 한다. 3D Contents는 현재 게임분야에 많이 사용되고 있는 Kinect를 이용하여 생성하고 이러한 소셜 미디어들을 Web 환경에서 Authoring 하는 방법에 관한 연구를 소개한다. 최종적으로는 현재 많이 사용되고 있는 Blog의 형태에서 발전한 Tangible Blog를 만드는 것이 목표이다. 여기서 Tangible Blog는 기존의 텍스트, 음악, 동영상 등의 소스를 이용한 사용자의 일상생활 및 의견 표현을 넘어선 3D Contents의 활용, 스토리텔링 기법 활용 및 Sensory Effect를 활용한 실감 있는 블로그를 만드는 것을 목표로 한다.

Most blog sites provide predefined classes based on contents or topics, but few bloggers choose classes for their posts because of its cumbersome manual process. This paper proposes an automatic blog post classification method that variously combines term frequency, document frequency and class frequency from each classes to find appropriate weighting scheme. In experiment, combination of term frequency, category term frequency and inversed (excepted category's) document frequency shows 77.02% classification precisions.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of domestic and foreign power blogs that serve as professional source of information and to clarify the difference of the criteria for the certification and selection of power blogs. The study also analyzed the configuration of contents and the characteristic of categories of the power blogs. Eleven domestic blogs were examined, of which ten were certified as power blogs on several portal sites and one blog was operating in English. Furthermore twelve foreign blogs were examined, of which ten blogs were selected from the graded list of www.alexa.com for the Fashion Power Blog TOP 20 adopted on www.telegraph.co.uk in 2009, and two noticeable blogs were selected additionally. Data were analyzed by both theoretical and exploratory studies. The exploratory study was conducted by fourteen majors, who took interest in the blogs and were divided into two groups to look at the domestic and foreign sites, from 12 October to 12 November in 2010. The types of blogs were classified by frequency analysis of interactivity, interest provision, information provision and purchase capability. The investigators checked the type of the contents of each blog and the frequencies were used for the classification type. The analysis showed that the frequencies were in the order of information provision, followed by interest provision, and purchase capability for foreign blogs, while interest provision was followed by information provision for domestic blogs. Interactivity, interest provision, information provision and purchase capability were generally reflected in foreign blogs. Rather than interest provision and information provision, however, interactivity and purchase capability were reflected relatively weakly in domestic blogs.

The growth of blogs has two aspect of providing various information and marketing. This study collected the rankings of blog posts of large portal using OpenAPI and investigated the features of blogs ranked through the exploratory data analysis technique. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the influence of the blogger and the recent creation date of the post were highly influential factors in the top rank. Due to the weakness of these evaluation algorithms, there was a problem of showing the search results which is concentrated to the power blogger's post. In this study, we propose an algorithm that improves the reliability of content by adding the reliability DB information which is verified by the experts and reflects the fairness of the application of the ranking score through the trend index indicating various public interests. Improved algorithms have made it possible to provide more reliable information in the search results of the relevant field and have an effect of making it difficult to manipulate ranking by illegal applications that increase the number of visitors.

This study aims to verify the possibility of using the blog mining to collect public opinion in the field of housing policy, thus, it collected blog posts with the keyword 'Happy Housing', extracted the main keywords from them, and analyzed the public's perception through keyword and word cluster analysis. 137,002 blog posts were used as analysis data from May 2013, when social discussion about happy housing spread, to August 2021, and the words derived by dividing the period into three stages in consideration of major housing policies and data collection were analyzed. The results are as follows. In the keyword analysis, overall, the importance of words related to the location, the number, the size, and the conditions for occupancy of Happy Housing is high. In the first stage, government policy implementation, in the second stage, the application process for Happy Housing, and in the third stage, recruitment notices, occupancy qualifications, and rental conditions are found to be highly important. In cluster analysis, project progress, application process, and project area were drawn as main themes at all stages. In particular, policy implementation and implementation plan in the first stage, occupancy qualification and financial support in the second stage, and policy implementation and occupancy qualification in the third stage were drawn as main themes. These results present the possibility of the blog mining as a method of collecting public opinion by sharing policy-related information, reflecting social issues, evaluating whether policies are delivered, and inferring the public's participation in policies.

When people try to find restaurant information via search engine results, they look at posts not only from sites with solely restaurant reviews but also from sites with restaurant unrelated contents. This study aims to investigate whether relevance between post and blog type affects users' trust toward a review. This study also attempts to check if the above effects interact with age. We designed a restaurant review post for two different blogs: one featuring restaurant review and another that does not feature restaurant reviews. After our participants visited one restaurant review post, they answered our questionnaire. We conducted an online survey on 206 participants to test our research model. Results show that 1) the effect of relevance between post and blog type on message credibility, which is users' trust toward restaurant reviews, is not greater when posts are consistent with the theme of a blog. 2) Among users who are over 30 years old, relevance between post and blog type moderates the relationship between media skepticism, which is users' feeling of mistrust toward blog, and belief in expertise, that is, users' belief that the review post provides sufficient restaurant information. 3) Users' perceived value of the restaurant review post mediates the relationship between users' belief in the expertise in a post and users' intention to seek additional information.
