TL;DR
A new metric of selecting topic words is suggested and it is expected that this metric and the source grouping methods will be developed to a new topic analysis framework of a large blog corpus.
Abstract
Many blog posts deal with current issues, so much attention has been paid to identifying topic trends in blogs. This paper suggests a new metric of selecting topic words. We empirically tested the accuracy and the performance of the metric with a massive blog corpus. First, we created blog site groups to their indegree influence. Second, we ran the metric with blog posts of each group. The test was encouraging because the metric identified key issues matching to the headlines of New York Times when it is applied to the top indegree blog group. We expect that this metric and the source grouping methods will be developed to a new topic analysis framework of a large blog corpus.

A family of probabilistic time series models is developed to analyze the time evolution of topics in large document collections, and dynamic topic models provide a qualitative window into the contents of a large document collection.
Topics over time

An LDA-style topic model is presented that captures not only the low-dimensional structure of data, but also how the structure changes over time, showing improved topics, better timestamp prediction, and interpretable trends.

97 Citations2004Natalie Glance, Matthew Hurst +1 more
This paper describes the application of data mining, information extraction and NLP algorithms for discovering trends across a subset of approximately 100,000 weblogs, and implements trend search, which graphs the normalized trend line over time for a search query and provides a way to estimate the relative buzz of word of mouth for given topics over time.
