[Air-L] Visualization tool for conversations?

[Yohanan Ouaknine]

Hello, 
I  am writing a paper on a similar subject (responses in forum and username
and network analysis). The data extraction was done with a web extractor
tool, importing the data in an access db and performing a simple SQL query
to detect who's answering to who.
The network analysis was done with NodeXL, (previously NetMap) -

This tool is for Excel 2007 only.

Check out this tool by Anatoliy Gruzd. We've been using it for analysis of
online 
conversations and the extraction of social networks.   /Caroline
