      abstract = {This book represents an attempt to fully review the  phenomenon of the blogosphere. The intention is to provide  a reliable guide to understanding and analyzing the world  of the unimaginable number of diverse blogs, each  consisting of innumerable posts, which in their entirety  form the blogosphere. We go on to answer the questions of  how to grasp the complexity of the blogosphere and extract  useful knowledge from it. In setting out to write this  book, our central aim was to increase the reader?s  awareness and understanding of the blogosphere phenomenon,  including its structure and characteristics. This can be  achieved through a better understanding of individual blogs  and their particular technical characteristics, as well as  a deeper knowledge of how a single blog is embedded and  interconnected within the entire blogosphere. The shape and  form of the blogosphere can be described using the analogy  of different continents. In our description the defining  features and characteristics of the continents are  illustrated by paradigmatic example blogs. Following on  from the structural analysis we provide details of the  available methods and describe the complex challenge of  automatically retrieving information from the abundance of  data contained in the blogosphere. Finally, we present our  blog search platform, called BLOGINTELLIGENCE and describe  all the tools and features we have developed during the  last couple of years to explore the blogosphere.},
