✦ Synopsis

Abstract

This technical session, building on theories of disruptive technologies, offers a demonstration of strategic network analysis tools that are currently little discussed in the literatures relating to information analysis. Panel members will stimulate debate by addressing the topical subject of blogosphere analysis from contrasting and complementary viewpoints relating to competitive intelligence and marketing, information seeking and use, network analysis and the concept of disruptive technologies. The range of expertise represented by the multidisciplinary makeup of the panel will help ensure a richly informative and lively session. In addition, the session will provide a forum for discussion about the role of weblogs in the communication of specialized information to both lay and expert communities, as well as a discussion about approaches and techniques for blogosphere analysis in general.
