Web Log Macroscope This is the coolest thing I've seen in the area of visualizing Blogspace. John has for me been the first to create a web log macroscope. The entire vision is not here yet but this forms a significant platform for uncovering important aspects of where weblogs are headed. What forms public opinion? Can I watch it like I watch the wind blow across a pond? Are there patterns visible like the easily identifiable parabolic flight trajectory of the wood pecker? "Humans excel at this kind of thing, given these kinds of stimuli helped our primate ancestors live or die by their ability to leap through treetops canopies, navigating complex networks of interconnected vines and branches to capture prey, evade predators and just plane survive." [John Schull not an exact quote but the best I recall at the moment]
Dynamic Graphs. If you click on the image before it will bring up an applet with a map of my local blog space. Navigate mode allows you to set a blog (by clicking on it) as the center, then you can shrink and expand the map. Going to edit mode makes the nodes clickable and enables the ability to click the various blogs. [Fast Takes]
