Overview of the TREC 2009 Blog Track

The Blog track explores the information seeking behaviour in the blogosphere. Thus far, since its inception in 2006 [9], the Blog track addressed two main search tasks based on the analysis of a commercial blog search engine: the opinion-finding task (i.e. “What do people think about X?”) and the blog distillation task (i.e. “Find me a blog with a principal, recurring interest in X.”). In TREC 2009, the Blog track has been markedly revamped with the use of a new and larger sample of the blogosphere, called Blogs08, which has a 13-month timespan covering a period ranging from 14th January 2008 to 10th February 2009, and the introduction of two new search tasks, addressing more refined and typical search scenarios on the blogosphere:
