Community-Based Social Network Service for Travel Blog Sharing

This paper seeks to develop a social network service (SNS) for the travel blog sharing. Many blogs provide travel notes, commentary, or news on a particular subject such as Art blog, travel blog et al. The proposed travel SNS is able to identify the merited blog notes from the complex blog´s citations in the online community using the network theory and technique that can analyze these travel blog linkage´s structures, that is, social network analysis (SNA). For the service performance of the travel SNS, we can examine whether the real-time network structure of travel blogs can be appropriately diffused for the users who need the travel knowledge and experiences. In order for the knowledge sharing, the characteristic of participation, sharing, and interaction of Web 2.0 concepts can be designed and implemented in the blog´s community-based SNS system.
