Abstract

In this paper, the statistical analysis of one blog community is presented. The quantities such as degree distribution, clustering coefficient, average shortest path length are calculated to capture the features of the blogging network. We demonstrate that the blogging network has small-world property and the in and out degree distributions have power-law forms. The analysis also confirms that blogging networks show in general disassortative mixing pattern. Furthermore, the fraction of the number of page views of blogs follows a power law.
