I recommend you to use the free download version of UCInet (http://www.analytictech.com/downloaduc6.htm). UCInet is easy to use and the functions are kind of intuitive if you have some network analysis background. To easily get a drawing, follow the menu Data>Import from spreadsheet>DL to upload your data, and then open your file with Visualize>Netdraw. you can also try Pajek (http://vlado.fmf.uni-lj.si/pub/networks/pajek/), which is also free both programs come with very useful and easy to follow instructions, Mariana ------ ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2008 19:16:05 -0400 From: Peter Timusk <ptimusk@sympatico.ca> Subject: Re: [Air-L] simple network analysis tool To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Message-ID: <BLU0-SMTP2768FF3EA393BA228036B9DC2B0@phx.gbl> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed There is a plug in that works with Excel 2007 from the Microsoft Open Source Port 25 lab called Netmap download it from codeplex On 24-Oct-08, at 6:32 PM, Paul Emerson Teusner wrote:
Hi everyone,
I have a small request for info. I've been looking at network analysis tools currently available online/for download and have found all of them rather cumbersome and far more sophisticated than myself.
Rather than endeavouring to upgrade my brain to use them, I'm wondering if anybody knows a simple program that can turn simple data on a spreadsheet into a little diagram. I have a sample of only thirty to thirty-five bloggers, and want to show connections between the sites through links and comments. I have all the data on spreadsheet, and just want to show it pictorially.
Any ideas?
