Scientific paper

Collective human behaviors are analyzed using the time series of word appearances in blogs. As expected, we confirm that the number of fluctuations is approximated by a Poisson distribution for very-low-frequency words. A non-trivial scaling roperty is confirmed for more-frequent words. We propose a simple model that shows that the fluctuations in the number of contributors is playing the central role in this non-Poissonian behavior.
