    Political blogosphere Feb. 2005                                            
    Data compiled by Lada Adamic and Natalie Glance                            
                                                                               
    Node "value" attributes indicate political leaning according to:           
                                                                               
      0 (left or liberal)                                                      
      1 (right or conservative)                                                
                                                                               
    Data on political leaning comes from blog directories as indicated.  Some  
    blogs were labeled manually, based on incoming and outgoing links and posts
    around the time of the 2004 presidential election.  Directory-derived      
    labels are prone to error; manual labels even more so.                     
                                                                               
    Links between blogs were automatically extracted from a crawl of the front 
    page of the blog.                                                          
                                                                               
    These data should be cited as Lada A. Adamic and Natalie Glance, "The      
    political blogosphere and the 2004 US Election", in Proceedings of the     
    WWW-2005 Workshop on the Weblogging Ecosystem (2005).
