Abstract :
The study analyzes Wan Wan\´s Comic Blog by adopting "Chaos-Time" approach, and concludes that chaos situation exists in the blog development behavior. Two forces are found during the course of development: positive and negative forces. The negative force leads the blog development to stability and convergence, while critical event causes the positive force to lead the system to move from the stable state towards disturbance, divergence and disorder. The system undergoes a transition from non-chaos to chaos with the introduction of the MSN emoticons on 2004/12/23.
