Gephi is really a great piece of software. I recently wrote a little script that allows people to export their Facebook networks or the groups they are members of to a .gdf file - which can then be opened with gephi or other toolkits... http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=107036545989762 best, Bernhard On 3/25/10 17:34 , Sébastien Heymann wrote:
Gephi is also part of Google Summer of Code 2010: the program is the best way for students around the world to start contributing to an open-source project, and they are paid by Google during 3 months!
We propose various proposals for students, if you know talended people in computer science / informatics / infovis / HCI / network science: http://gephi.org/2010/google-summer-of-code-2010/

Hi,
If you need to visualize and analyze internet or social networks, this software could help: http://gephi.org.
This open source platform aims to explore graphs and complex systems like you manipulate images in Photoshop. This is currently the fastest graph visualization engine in open source, and provide an interactive way to handle networks, apply layouts and metrics, filter data and see the dynamics. It's free and runs on Windows, Linux or Mac OS X.
Watch an introduction in video here: http://vimeo.com/9726202
A quick start tutorial is available here: http://gephi.org/2010/quick-start-tutorial/
You can test it with some datasets like the structure of the Internet
made
by Mark Newman in 2006: http://gephi.org/datasets/internet_routers-22july06.gml.zip. Other datasets are available here: http://wiki.gephi.org/index.php?title=Datasets
If you plan to apply for the ESF conference "Future Internet and Society:
A
Complex Systems Perspective" (
http://www.esf.org/activities/esf-conferences/details/2010/confdetail341/341... ),
you may use Gephi to speed up your researches and present your results.
For example, check out this study on interactions between Science in
Society

Hope that help ;) Sebastien Heymann _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at:
