Dear colleagues,

Please join us for the Third International AAAI Conference on Weblogs

interdisciplinary conference will bring together researchers and
industry leaders interested in creating and analyzing social media.
Researchers representing such diverse disciplines as computer science,
linguistics, psychology, statistics, sociology, multimedia and semantic
web technologies will attend.

The technical program schedule is now available at

presentations, 48 poster presentations, and 5 demos, the program
includes an impressive line-up of invited speakers:

A special "data challenge workshop" will be held on May 20 for author
presentations resulting from the use of the ICWSM-09 dataset, as well as
a broader discussion of data issues and opportunities confronting the
social media community. An award will be presented at the conference for
the best paper using the dataset.
