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!).

First, a short, illustrated article from Inf@Vis! magazine and then a new online app for mapping mailing list networks by Marcos Weskamp. cheers martin --------- Social Networks by Juan C. Dürsteler Social networks are responsible for many of the structures of power and influence in our world. Its 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 -----------
