چکیده

We present the first study of the Georgian blogosphere. The complete dataset on Georgian bloggers is collected and analyzed using Social Network Analysis tools. We identify the core-periphery structure present in the system. Results point to the fact that, after disregarding least important peripheral blogs that do not actively participate in the system, Georgian blogosphere is very compact. The core of the system cannot be partitioned into communities by any observable characteristics. Therefore, we perform a community detection exercise. We identify two large communities and analyze their behavior, internal architecture and inter-community interactions.
