adopted Web 2.0 features. The article goes on to outline various website analysis techniques noted and reported in the literature. Moreover, the authors contend that these previously documented approaches are inadequate when used to analysis commonly encountered features associated with typical Web 2.0 website – many sites containing a combination of weblogs (blogs), videos, rating systems, images or other forms of user-generated content. The article continues with an example of how the authors developed their own approach to the analysis of Web 2.0 websites for a research study conducted on Web 2.0 tourism websites. A ‘snapshot’ of comments from the blogs on each Web 2.0 website was classified according to a blog classification scheme proposed by Nardi, Sherman and Mansfield [2004]. The usefulness of the classification is highlighted as it provides a new perspective on the analysis of blog comments.</div></div></section><section class="field field-name-field-paper-key-word field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix view-mode-full"><h2 class="field-label">Key Word: </h2><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/taxonomy/term/194" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Web 2.0; user-generated content</a></li><li class="field-item odd"><a href="/taxonomy/term/195" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">UGC</a></li><li class="field-item even"><a href="/taxonomy/term/196" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">blogs</a></li><li class="field-item odd"><a href="/taxonomy/term/197" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">classification scheme; analysis; tourism</a></li></ul></section><section class="field field-name-field-issue-published-date field-type-datetime field-label-inline clearfix view-mode-full"><h2 class="field-label">Published Date: </h2><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single" property="dc:date" datatype="xsd:dateTime" content="2010-11-01T00:00:00+08:00">November, 2010</span></div></div></section><section class="field field-name-field-paper-full-file field-type-file field-label-above view-mode-full"><h2 class="field-label">Full File: </h2><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="file"><img class="file-icon" alt="PDF icon" title="application/pdf" src="/modules/file/icons/application-pdf.png" /> <a href="http://www.jecr.org/sites/default/files/11_4_p03.pdf" type="application/pdf; length=339961" title="11_4_p03.pdf">A Classification Scheme For Analysing Web 2.0 Tourism Websites</a></span></div></div></section> </div> <span property="dc:title" content="A Classification Scheme For Analysing Web 2.0 Tourism Websites" class="rdf-meta element-hidden"></span></article> </div> </div>  </section>  </div> </div>  </div> </div>   <footer id="footer" class="clearfix" role="contentinfo"> <div id="footer-inner" class="clearfix"> <div class="region region-footer"><div class="region-inner clearfix"><div id="block-block-2" class="block block-block no-title odd first last block-count-3 block-region-footer block-2" ><div class="block-inner clearfix"> <div class="block-content content"><p class="rtecenter">JOURNAL OF ELECTRONIC COMMERCE RESEARCH</p> <p class="rtecenter">College of Business &nbsp- &nbspCalifornia State University Long Beach </p> <p class="rtecenter">1250 Bellflower Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90840</p> <br> <p class="rtecenter">Hosted & Printed by College of Commerce, National Chengchi University</p> <p class="rtecenter">64, Sec. 2, ZhiNan Rd., Taipei, Taiwan 11605</p> </div> </div></div></div></div> <p class="attribute-creator"><small class="attribution">Premium Drupal Theme by <a href="http://adaptivethemes.com">Adaptivethemes.com</a></small></p> </div> </footer> </div>  </div>  </body> </html>
