[Air-l] FW: visualising social networks

[Ulla Bunz]

I don't believe this has been forwarded to this list yet. It is from the
mapping cyberspace Listserve and should be of interest to those of you
who like social networks and are visual thinkers (or whose readers are
visual thinkers!).

Hi, a couple of things on social network visualisation that might be of
interest to some. First, a short, illustrated article from Inf at Vis!
magazine and then a new online app for mapping mailing list networks by
Marcos Weskamp.

Social Networks
by Juan C. Dürsteler

Social networks are responsible for many of the structures of power and
influence in our world. It’s not always easy to recognise their
structure
and behaviour. The visualisation and analysis of social networks can
help
considerably in knowing them.

See the graphical version of this article at
http://www.infovis.net/E-zine/2003/num_136.htm.

Social Circles

I've just uploaded the application over here:
http://www.marumushi.com/apps/socialcircles/

Data to from the lists flows in as posts happen, that is to say these
are
almost *live* snapshots of the current status of them. Currently I'm
visualizing the mailing lists I'm subscribed to. If you have any ideas
on
lists that you'd like to see, please drop me a line.


Best regards,
