Mozdeh RSS and blog analysis software is available here - use at your own risk. Sorry, it is difficult to use even with the Mozdeh manual - so please only try it if you are really keen. This is a product of the Statistical Cybermetrics Research Group at the University of Wolverhampton and is part of the CREEN project.

For keen computer scientists here is a sample of our raw data (228 Mb). It is data collected from 22 December 2004 to 4 February 2005 by monitoring a few thousand RSS feeds (later our set of RSS feeds increased to almost 70,000 and then to about 100,000). Unzip to see the data which is contained in a set of daily XML-like text files. Each file contains a list of all the new RSS items collected on the day and each item is marked with a unique item ID and an ID of the feed from which it was collected.

Here is a sample of the vocabulary from some RSS feeds (32M zip file of blogs, news and other sites). The file includes:

• A vocabulary list (all words extracted and how often they were found)
• A list of all the RSS URLs used (other junk in the file can be ignored)
• A list of the dates on which the RSS data was gathered (other junk in the file can be ignored)
