Chekhov's Mistress
Show Us Your Blog, We’ll Tell You What Books to Buy
by Bud Parr
Hmmm, this one might be easier on litblogs than others…
“Our working hypothesis is that from a blogger’s writings we can derive her commercial taste. In this paper we zoom in on books: given a blog, our aim is to generate a list of suggestions of categories of books for the blogger to buy. We begin by mining a blog for indicators of book interests; we then use external resources to match these indicators with actual products,aggregating their category information to arrive at a book profile…
Initial results, using a simple method, suggest that this is beneficial for those targeting bloggers as consumers.”
