Exploring the community structure of newsgroups
2004
Proceedings of the 2004 ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining - KDD '04
We propose to use the community structure of Usenet for organizing and retrieving the information stored in newsgroups. ...
We also present a spectral algorithm which clusters newsgroups based on the cross-post matrix. The result of our clustering provides a topical classification of newsgroups. ...
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to thank the Collaborative and Multimedia Systems Group in Microsoft Research, especially Marc Smith, for posing some of the questions addressed here and providing us with ...

PHOAKS: a system for sharing recommendations
1997
Communications of the ACM
PHOAKS differs from other recommender systems in that it is based on the principles of role specialization and reuse. ...
Using a collaborative filtering approach, it sifts through Usenet news messages and automatically identifies, keeps track of and redeploys recommendations of Web resources. ...
To try to answer this question, we analyzed the intersection between resources recommended on Usenet (that were not in FAQ messages) and resources in newsgroup FAQs. ...

Visualization components for persistent conversations
2001
Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems - CHI '01
Based on the data generated by the Netscan data-mining project [9], we have developed a set of tools for illustrating the structure of discussion threads like those found in Usenet newsgroups and the patterns ...
We describe the benefits and challenges of integrating these tools into a multi-faceted dashboard for navigating and reading discussions in social cyberspaces like Usenet and related interaction media. ...
Every message that a user contributes to the Usenet system must be directed to one or more newsgroups, which are repositories for discussions on particular topics. ...

Discussion catalysts in online political discussions: Content importers and conversation starters
2009
Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication
A 6-month analysis of almost 40,000 authors in 20 political Usenet newsgroups identified authors who received a disproportionate number of replies. We labeled these authors "discussion catalysts." ...
This study addresses 3 research questions in the context of online political discussions: What is the distribution of successful topic starting practices, what characterizes the content of large thread-starting ...
Usenet is an interesting contrast developed in the early 1980s as a mechanism for exchanging threaded discussion content in a 'peer-to-peer' model. ...
