Animated Weblog Diffusion

As part of my presentation at the Personal Democracy Forum 2008, I showed an animation of a simulation of diffusion through the blogosphere. Anthony and Guilhem (also presenting at PDF) have just released a version of this on real data over on their Presidential Watch 08 site. They talk about it here, and the two demonstrations can be found here and here.

The visualization is an augmentation of the existing graph based view with a new display/control showing the attention over time to the video that is the subject of diffusion.

Hello Matthew,
Thank you for pointing to our work at linkfluence on presidentialwatch08.com
Indeed, your presentation at the PDF was compelling! I'm sure our working paths will cross on other occasions in the coming months ;-)
And by the way, congratulations for political streams, a powerful display of datacrunching and infoviz.
Anthony
