Abstract:

Looks at the Arab blogosphere's structure and content through "link analysis, term frequency analysis, and human coding of individual blogs." Aims to create an assessment of the Middle Eastern networked public sphere and how it relates to "emergent issues". These issues include "politics, meida, religion, culture and international affairs".
