Blogviz is a flash driven visualization model for mapping the transmission and internal structure of top links across the blogosphere. It explores the idea of meme propagation by assuming a parallel with the spreading of most cited URLs in daily weblog entries. Blogviz is currently a portrait of blogosphere’s topic activity during the first 64 days of 2005. Nevertheless, the model was developed to easily incorporate different timeframes. Blogviz will continue to expand in the future, to the possible point of including real-time data.

Currently tracking 112.8 million blogs and over 250 million pieces of tagged social media.
Technorati is the recognized authority on what's happening on the World Live Web. The Live Web is the dynamic and always-updating portion of the Web. search, surface, and organize blogs and the other forms of independent, user-generated content (photos, videos, voting, etc.) increasingly referred to as “citizen media.”But it all started with blogs. A blog, or weblog, is a regularly updated journal published on the web. Some blogs are intended for a small audience; others vie for readership with national newspapers. Blogs are influential, personal, or both, and they reflect as many topics and opinions as there are people writing them.

a dynamic visualization of an email inbox, based on the metaphor of microbes. all emails are categorized in 6 person groups: family and friends, school, job, e-commerce, unclassified, & spam.An animal conveys the condition of an email message: the age of an email is shown by the size & opacity of the animal. the status of an email (i.e. unread, read, responded) is shown by the number of hair/feet & velocity. users can select messages & group them by different attributes, such as sender, status or time.

Project Description:
This Email Map, created by Christopher Baker, is a piece of custom designed software capable of rendering the relationships between Christopher and individuals in his address book by examining the TO:, FROM:, and CC: fields of every email in his email archive. The intensity of the relationship is determined by the intensity of the line. The tool allows one to explore different relational groupings and periods of time, revealing the temporal ebbs and flows in various relationships. In this way, this tool is a veritable self-portrait, a reflection of Christopher's associations and a way to locate himself at various points in history.
As the author explains: "Email became an integral part of my life in 1998. Like many people, I have archived all of my email with the hope of someday revisiting my past. I am interested in revealing the innumerable relationships between me, my schoolmates, work-mates, friends and family. This could not readily be accomplished by reading each of my 60,000 emails one-by-one".
This project can be viewed as a large scale static print (40"x40" archival inkjet) or as an up-to-date dynamic visualization. The interactive program is written in Java and uses Processsing, MySQL and various other libraries. The software includes a custom IMAP email client and a VCF address book parser, which enables the inclusion of VCard photos. This particular visualization strategy was influenced by similar circular relational structures such as CAIDA, SCHEMABALL, GNOM, etc. Much of my initial email visualization research was influenced and inspired by the work of Judith Donath's Sociable Media Group at MIT - particularly the work of Fernanda Viegas.

Project Description:
ITP Student List Conversations is a visualization of the e-mail conversations that have occurred on the ITP (NYU graduate program) student e-mail list. The amount of conversation between two people is determined by how much they participate in the same discussion threads.
The strength of the connection between two people is determined by multiplying the number of e-mails they each send to the same thread and adding together these numbers for each thread. So if you and I each sent 1 message to a thread, we get 1 connection "point" added to our "score." If we each sent 3 messages to a different thread, we would get 9 connection points (3x3). More connection points are represented by heavier lines connecting two people.
The project was developed using Processing along with some PHP and MySQL, and it traced messages sent between September 1st, 2006 and January 10th, 2007.

It displays an intricate network of sites, divided by political party and geographically placed throughout the French territory. By materializing the existing bonds between them, this chart makes it possible to emphasize the vast network of influences on the Web.

Project Description:
Twingly screensaver tries to map the global activity of the blogosphere in a dynamic 3D globe view of the Earth. The engaging visualization is a real time rendering of blog posts represented as bars standing over the continents. The motivation of the Primelabs team is obvious: "The fact that every blog is an ordered record of thoughts and opinions makes the aggregated data of many blogs very valuable. With a large amount of data from various blogs it is possible to analyze the spread of ideas and monitor the effects of a campaign or public knowledge of a brand. Without the time axis, a statistical report is just a snapshot in time. With the concept of time, a new dimension is added to the equation."
As the authors explain in their blog: "Twingly is an aggregation of the global blogosphere into a single database. The immense power of this data will be made available to our customers through a number of applications. With sustained innovation over a long period of time we are continously improving the tools available for connecting to the blogosphere".
To use Twingly screensaver you need a PC with Windows and a graphics card supporting OpenGL.

• Visualizing online social roles

a collection of data visualization methods that reveal the specific characteristics of communications between Usenet newsgroups members. the visual analysis focuses on distinguishing "signatures of role", such as identifying so-called "answer people", individuals whose dominant behavior is to respond to questions posed by other users.
for instance, the "authorlines" visualization represents the volume of contributions for a single author across a year. each vertical strip represents one week. each circle represents a thread in which the actor participated during this week. red circles represent threads initiated by the selected author, while blue circles indicate threads initiated by someone else that were replied to by the selected author. the diameter of a circle represents the number of messages posted by author to that thread during that week.
