Analysis of User's Relation and Reading Activity in Weblogs

In a blog network, there are many relations such as comment, trackback, and so on. We consider that if the relations are related to user’s reading activity, we can extract useful information from the relations for using a recommendation system. We define the strength and type as the measure for relations, and analyze the correlation between those measures and users’ reading activity. We attempt to determine the relations on which users regularly read the blogs.
