Hi, Some weeks ago I asked for some advice on visualization tools. For those interested (there seemed to be some of them ;) I thought I'd forward to the list the solution I took. And the winner is... Many Eyes (http://services.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/app) It is not _exactly_ what I was looking for, as Java is more demanding than flash (when loading) and it's a hosted service, not something you can do on your desktop and upload to your site. But it does work. Yes, there's the option to embed it on your site. But, with a little bit of "codespotting", you can even _upload_ the result to your own site, so you you're not losing your work when IBM shuts down the site (things happen, call me paranoid). So, just a test can be seen here: http://services.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/view/SQYskMsOtha662mEDLGxM2~ and the corresponding upload to the fully own hosted version: http://ictlogy.net/maps/ismael_pena-lopez_research_interests.php As said, just a test, but it works quite cool. Thanks a lot for those that answered back my first e-mail.

Ismael, I missed your original post, so am not sure what kind of advice you were looking for. But I've been working on a bibliography for visualization and have found the following sites useful: Visual Complexity http://www.visualcomplexity.com/vc/ Data Visualization: Modern Approaches (Smashing Magazine) http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/08/02/data-visualization-modern-approac hes/ Sixteen Awesome Data Visualization Tools http://mashable.com/2007/05/15/16-awesome-data-visualization-tools/ A Periodic Table of Visualization Methods http://www.visual-literacy.org/periodic_table/periodic_table.html Jim Porter

Thanks Jim, I asked for a tool to build (NOT analyze) network-like diagrams that I could export into Flash to be published on the Web. I was thinking at something the like of Free Mind, but with the possibility to set many-to-many relationships (like a network: Free Mind can only build trees in one-to-many fashion). MindRider was a candidate, but it's tough to use and no export (I guess) possible. Many Eyes, while not perfect, is my choice for a second best. My exploration in this field (and the contributions of many) was put into this wikipage: http://ictlogy.net/wiki/index.php?title=Data_Visualization which is far from being complete - not the idea, just to track my own path not to cover it twice. Thanks again. Best, Ismael Peña-López ICTlogy.net Public Policies for Development and ICT4D Faculty of Law and Political Science Open University of Catalonia
Hi everyone, I'm currently on fieldwork in Russia, researching how environmentalist bloggers make use of LJ in their social/political relations, and development and perfomance of personal identity. Basically the use value of the whole thing for these people :) I've been quite out of the loop with checking journals/Athens/Google Scholar and all the rest for the past little while, and was wondering if there were any studies I have missed. Anything that touches on Livejournal would be great, but anything dealing with specifically Russian facets would also be great..either in English or Russian. Normally I'd share full citations of sources I've already found to be useful, but I've been relegated to an internet cafe here and do not have any to hand. Off the top of my head though, Eugene Gorny's 2004 study of 'national specifics' of Russian LJ is worth looking for, as is 'Control+Shift', a book I think edited by Katie Teubener. Anything by Terri Senft is wonderful for LJ in general. Urgh..my memory is suffering.. So yes..any sources that anyone could recommend would be gratefully received!

Hi Martin, I wrote two papers specifically on Livejournal a few years ago.

Hello! I've seen several papers in Russian about LiveJournal, but they were of a poor quality (as everything in Russia concerning internet research). If you are in Moscow or in St. Petersburg - we could meet and discuss your research.

I like that Periodic table, but what really annoys me is that they've missed the opportunity (in my opinion) to point you to software that can help you create them (at least, those that are computer based) Maybe a Web2.0 type aspect to it, so that visitors can add sites/ programmes as they appear. (and some of the popups are quite small, so a little hard to read some of the text) It's useful, though! :) -- Emma Duke-Williams: School of Computing/ Faculty eLearning Co-ordinator.
