Ghost in the Machine

Is BurningBird back? Sorta, kinda, and this makes me happy all out of proportion to what I might have expected. There's been a disconcerting Shelley-shaped hole in the neighbourhood of late. She asks "Just how real is all of this?" and I haven't really got an answer for that. The first thing that pops into my mind (the first thing being what I usually go with, as you're probably aware if you've been reading my crap for any length of time) : "f--k art, let's dance!"

(I don't know if Shelley is still working on ThreadNeedle, but if she is, here are some very cool blogthread visualization ideas that someone geekier and smarter than myself might like to investigate.

I've been thinking about and researching this a bit today after following David's pointer to Jon.

Have a look at PeopleGarden and WebFan. I find WebFan in particular very intuitive.

The projects at the MIT Social Media Group site are also interesting.

And Warren Sack's Conversation Map Interface for Very Large Scale Conversations is working again on the sample Usenet data, since the last time I checked. Amazing work. )
