The survey of the literature on Persian blogs presents the state of the Iranian Blogosphere (in 2008) and provides a review of the research and publications on the topic: Research on Persian blogs has mainly centered around a socio-political study of this new medium, and several quantitative investigations have provided preliminary studies on sociological characteristics and content analysis in weblogs. However, rigorous research and investigation of the linguistic aspects of Persian blogs and computational analysis of these online resources are lacking. This survey also presents a summary of the existing literature on the language of weblogs in English and discusses how the results may be relevant for a computational study of Persian Blogspeak.
