Abstract:
Advances in information and networking technology, in terms of online recreation, have continuously set an overwhelming pace for rapid growth in new applications of Internet-based activities in personal lives such as Blog. The main purpose of this study is to explore whether chaos exists in the blog development and discover any particular point in time worth further discussion by conducting quantitative analysis of chaos theory in the time dimension. Given with emergent events that cause divergence and uncontrollable behavior, the results revealed that the development behaviors of popular blogs undergo dynamic evolution over time and the future development is uncertain and unpredictable.
