[gir-l] mapping social networks on the Internet

[Uwe Matzat]

Fuer diejenigen, die ein Interesse an der Visualisierung sozialer 
Online Netzwerke haben. Ich finde besonders die zweite 
Anwendung (Social Circles) interessant, die es erlaubt, die 
Position von Mitgliedern von Mailinglisten innerhalb des Online- 
Kommunikationsnetzwerkes zu visualisieren. 

Beste Gruesse,
Uwe

Subject: 2 on visualising social networks

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. D=FCrsteler

Social networks are responsible for many of the structures of power
and influence in our world. It=92s 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,

-marcos weskamp
