Abstract

A system and/or method that facilitates analyzing newsgroup clusters. A data reception component receives data relating to a plurality of newsgroups and relays the data to an engine that constructs a weighted graph. The weighted graph represents a subset of the newsgroups as vertices of the graph. The vertices are connected by edges, which represent cross-postings relating to the subset of newsgroups.
