AIDSBlogs {MBCbook}

The AIDSBlogs data set

Description

The AIDS blog data set records the pattern of citation among 146 unique blogs related to AIDS patients and their support networks. The data were originally collected by Gopal (2007) <doi:10.1007/1-4020-5427-0_18> over a randomly selected three-day period in August 2005. The nodes in the network correspond to blogs and a directed edge from one blog to another indicates that the former had a link to the latter in their web page.

Usage

Format

A large network object, which can be managed with the network library, with 146 nodes.
