An analysis of 1,108 personal and corporate blogs with a total of 275,103 posts is performed, calculating the blogs’ survival rate, production – number of posts published-, and visibility via such indicators as links received, Technorati Authority and Google’s PageRank. Over the study period, from 2006 to 2009, there was a 52% decrease in the number of active blogs. Despite the drop in production over this period, the average number of posts per blog remained constant, with an average of 14 posts per month. Finally, the most representative blogs in the discipline are identified. The effect of the emergence of such platforms as Facebook and Twitter on LIS blogs is discussed. The differences between personal and corporate blogs are also described in terms of their productive behavior and their repercussions on the blogosphere. Finally, it is concluded that blogs as a phenomenon have lost a great deal of their prominence .

State of the Library and Information Science Blogosphere after Social Networks Boom: a Metric Approach 2 1. Introduction Weblogs also referred to as blogs, are a phenomenon on the Internet that surged in the first decade of the century (Nardi, Schiano, Gumbrecht, & Swartz, 2004). They belong to the so called web 2.0 or social web and have been consolidated as one of its pillars. The social web consists of a number of online tools and platforms where people share their perspectives, opinions, thoughts and experiences (Wikipedia, 2011). Blogs,as one of the more significant tools in web 2.0, are characterized by their constant update and the reverse chronological order in which entries or posts are presented. They also allow readers to subscribe to their content via RSS feeds and ensure posts’ stability by the use of permanent links. Blogs are characterized by their social and interactive aspects, as most of them allow reader comments, which, regardless of whether the theme is personal or professional, favors the growth of social communities (Kolbitsch & Maurer, 2006). The popularization and massive use of blogs has occurred thanks to free platforms such as Blogger and Wordpress, which are easy to manage and allow publishing of mainly textual content (Lackie & LeMasney, 2008)., The importance of blogs, however, has come under threat with the arrival of new actors in the Web 2.0 scenario, particularly social networks, which now rival blogs as primary communications media tools on the Internet. Once blogs were at the core of social networks (Rodzvilla, 2002), but now the Web 2.0 conversation has fragmented, with general interest shifting away from blogs in favor of other platforms (Boutin, 2008). Indeed, the bloggers themselves are the ones who, as early adopters, have popularized newer applications such as Facebook and Twitter (Technorati, 2009). Blogs, defined by Castells (2010) as mass self-communication media, have manifested themselves during the last decade as useful tools capable of introducing relevant structural changes on information intake and diffusion on different professional domains. Thus novelties and opportunities derived from blogs have been richly reviewed in different contexts, including education (Kim, 2008), medicine (Boulos, Maramba, & Wheeler, 2006), journalism (Johnson & Kaye, 2004) and even scientific communication (Bonetta, 2007). Faced with the Web 2.0 phenomenon in general and the phenomenon of blogging in particular, the library and information science community, which is known to have a proactive attitude toward technology, has not ignored this development. This attitude first became apparent in 1998 with ResearchBuzz, considered to be the first blog in LIS (Crawford, 2005). Libraries and information centers have been especially active in the creation and management of blogs as part of a communication strategy for offering new services for their patrons (Clyde, 2004). As a result of this movement, the term Library 2.0, a concept that has long been discussed (Casey, 2005), has come to be State of the Library and Information Science Blogosphere after Social Networks Boom: a Metric Approach 3 used in reference to the library-related part of Web 2.0. All of these events show the importance of blogs in LIS and their key role in structuring online professional communities. 2. Problem Statement The phenomenon of blogs and their role in the LIS community has not been unnoticed; many studies have analyzed its characteristics and identified the main actors. No study has been sufficiently wide-ranging to assess production patterns in the LIS blogosphere, however, as the methodology of these studies is usually characterized by the small range of their samples and are usually too focused on the library domain. This type of research uses small samples because of the many problems this type of information raises, including the great effort needed in order to gather the data, the scarcity of updated and extended information sources, and the evolving nature of the blogosphere. For these reasons it is difficult to characterize globally the blog community. Above all, none of published research has analyzed trends on production or active blogs in a sufficiently broad time span. Bar- Ilan (2007) has done the deepest portrait of the LIS blogosphere, with a sample of 470 blogs. This study stops in 2005, however, and no studies have shown the recent evolution of the LIS blogosphere. Furthermore, Web 2.0 is a fast-moving environment subjected to continual change, such as the appearance and massive popularization of social networks (e.g., Facebook). So it is relevant to study these new issues that impact the LIS blogosphere. Considering the importance of blogs on the last few years, it is necessary to study quantitatively the evolution of the international LIS blogosphere and characterize its current status, using a broad sample to describe the different trends and the main blogs. It is also interesting to distinguish between blog communities in accordance with who manages them, in this case, libraries or information professionals in a private capacity. Such study will also enable us to ascertain whether the blogosphere is a phenomenon that is still increasing or is rather declining as a communication medium. 3. Literature Review Broadly speaking, research on LIS blogs has traditionally been approached from two different points of view. The main purpose of one kind of study is to report and explore the possibilities that blogs, as communication tools, can provide for different types of libraries and information agencies (Wood, 2009; McIntyre & Nicolle, 2008; Clyde, 2004; Schrecker, 2008). These studies emphasize the importance of blogs as a forum for gathering and exchanging information, as a State of the Library and Information Science Blogosphere after Social Networks Boom: a Metric Approach 4 means to promote the engagement and participation of patrons, or as a tool for information literacy. Usually, services supplied by blogs are taken to be part of the broader context of Library 2.0, along with wikis, podcasts or tagging services (Maness, 2006; Svensson, 2007; Sodt & Summey, 2009). Another type of LIS blogs- related research characterizes and analyzes the main attributes of the LIS blogosphere using quantitative methodologies and metric indicators applied to collections of blogs. The current study is framed in this second type of research. Not many contributions to this second type of research can be found. Bar-Ilan (2005) began by studying the information sources that LIS blogs link to, as well as calculating a series of metric indicators for 15 blogs over a two-month period. Continuing with this approach, the same author (Bar-Ilan, 2007) analyzed 470 blogs written in English to see how information professionals used them, ranking them by authority according to the Technorati search engine. Crawford (2005) studied 50 personal blogs, including the calculation of post production indicators, post length, and the number of comments received. Another study (Online Education Database, 2007) ranked the top 25 librarian bloggers by such parameters as Technorati authority, Alexa ranking, Google PageRank and subscribers on the Bloglines aggregator. There is also literature related to communities within countries. For instance, Torres-Salinas, Cabezas-Clavijo, and Delgado-López-Cózar (2008) studied the posting and participation of the 12 leading Spanish LIS blogs over 16 months, and noted a general decline in production. Lee and Bates (2007) combined qualitative and quantitative techniques to analyze how Irish libraries use blogs. Toth (2010) analyzed a small sample of Hungarian library blogs, focusing particularly on the number of comments received per posts, and concluded that in most cases library users were not building virtual communities around blogs.

    Joining the World of Journals Welcome to the nation’s first and, to our knowledge, only undergraduate research journal in communi- cations. We discovered this fact while perusing the Web site of the Council on Undergraduate Research, which lists and links to the 60 or so undergraduate research journals nationwide (http://www.cur.org/ugjournal. html). Some of these journals focus on a discipline (e.g., Journal of Undergraduate Research in Physics), some are university-based and multidisciplinary (e.g., MIT Undergraduate Research Journal), and some are university-based and disciplinary (e.g., Furman University Electronic Journal in Undergraduate Mathematics). The Elon Journal is the first to focus on undergraduate research in journalism, media and communi- cations. The School of Communications at Elon University is the creator and publisher of the online journal. The second issue was published in Fall 2010 under the editorship of Dr. Byung Lee, associate professor in the School of Communications. The three purposes of the journal are: • To publish the best undergraduate research in Elon’s School of Communications each term, • To serve as a repository for quality work to benefit future students seeking models for how to do undergraduate research well, and • To advance the university’s priority to emphasize undergraduate student research. The Elon Journal is published twice a year, with spring and fall issues. Articles and other materials in the journal may be freely downloaded, reproduced and redistributed without permission as long as the author and source are properly cited. Student authors retain copyright own- ership of their works. Celebrating Student Research This journal reflects what we enjoy seeing in our students -- intellectual maturing.

[email protected] https://eprints.whiterose.ac.uk/ 1 Back to basics: what is the e-journal? As we move further into the first decade of a new century, it seems a good point to reflect on where the e-journal has come from, the position it is at now, and where it might be going in the immediate and long-term future. My concern within this article is to look backwards and forwards and consider this revolution in serials publishing, and the impact it has had on different user groups from the traditional academic audience to the general internet-savvy population. This article will therefore be structured in the following way: first, I will be looking at the birth of the e-journal, and the development of technologies through the last twenty years which influenced it; then move on to consider popular models of electronic serial publishing; to consider whether ‘born digital’ content is really in the long-term an advantage; to discuss the impact of new publishing models; and finally to look at where the e-journal fits as a source for support, and an outlet, for scholarly research.

    NORTH CAROLINA JOURNAL OF LAW & TECHNOLOGY VOLUME 10, ISSUE 1: FALL 2008 PRESERVING COMPETITION IN MULTI-SIDED INNOVATIVE MARKETS: HOW DO YOU SOLVE A PROBLEM LIKE GOOGLE? Kristine Laudadio Devine 1 The unique characteristics of the search advertising industry encourage the development of anticompetitive monopoly power, facilitating the rise and dominance of companies like Google. First, the search advertising industry is subject to multi-sided network effects that create a positive feedback loop. An increase in the number of customers on one side of the market attracts increased numbers of customers on the other side, enabling dominant firms to entrench their market power. Second, and relatedly, the search advertising industry operates in an innovative market where firms compete not to outdo competitors on price but rather to displace one another’s products entirely. In such a market, a dominant firm can acquire potentially displacing (but not substitutive) technology and thereby control future innovation, freeing itself from the burden of innovating further to maintain competitive advantage. Current regulatory enforcement, informed by traditional antitrust analysis, does not adequately account for the impact of multi-sided network effects or innovation-to-displace on competition. Retooling the regulatory regime governing merger enforcement, allowing the agencies tasked with enforcement to broaden their inquiries when investigating anticompetitive behavior of these firms, is therefore necessary to preserve competition in multi-sided innovative markets.

  • Platform Competition in an Age of Machine Learning
    DISRUPTIVE INCUMBENTS: PLATFORM COMPETITION IN AN AGE OF MACHINE LEARNING C. Scott Hemphill * Recent advances in machine learning have reinforced the competi- tive position of leading online platforms. This Essay identifies two im- portant sources of platform rivalry and proposes ways to maximize their competitive potential under existing antitrust law. A nascent competitor is a threatening new entrant that, in time, might become a full-fledged platform rival. A platform’s acquisition of a nascent competitor should be prohibited as an unlawful acquisition or maintenance of monopoly. A disruptive incumbent is an established firm—often another plat- form—that introduces fresh competition in an adjacent market. Anti- trust enforcers should take a more cautious approach, on the margin, when evaluating actions taken by a disruptive incumbent to compete with an entrenched platform. INTRODUCTION The leading online platforms—Google in search, Facebook in social network services, and Amazon in e-commerce—benefit from economies of scale and access to user data that are difficult for rivals to replicate. These barriers are reinforced by advances in machine learning, a set of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques1 that use models to “learn” desired behavior from “examples rather than instructions.”2 This Essay considers how competition might be enhanced, notwithstanding these advantages, under existing antitrust law.3 * Moses H.
