[from my connected selves blog]
OMG. Ben Discoe visualized Friendster from his perspective. Tell me that’s not gorgeous! ::bounce::
Of course, as he properly points out, it is only a static image from his perspective without all of the proper interconnections. And the clusters are a bit confusing because not all of those people are evenly interconnected. That’s why the visualization of an n-degree system is such a pain in the toosh.
[I should note that the first question after my SIGGRAPH talk was “Would it be possible to visualize Friendster?”]
OK.. i so want one of my own. And i so badly want to analyze this data. Wah!!
I’ll post the source for my stab at friendster scraping pretty soon
