is it just me

I was lately attending the Complexity Sciences Winter School at the ISCTE in Lisbon. The Winter School is organized by John Symons, Rui Lopes and Jorge Louçã and deals with topis around the subject “social structures in communication networks”.

As ususal I microblogged via Twitter about the event (the hashtag was #csws09). Unfortunately only one other attendee did use Twitter to blog about it. Nevertheless I created some Wordle word clouds and an animation of how these clouds changed over time. The first cloud is generated from Tweets before the Winter School, the following are for each day of the Winter School and the last one shows an overall word cloud.

We are currently working on techniques for generating these visualizations automatically and adding more interactivity to it. Furthermore we are investigating the emerging social networks and networks of artefacts. Please let me know, if you are interested in this stuff or have something interesting to add to these kinds of visualizations of communication flows.
