you are being mapped

Dear rhizomers,

notice: All email sent to this list is being confiscated and analized.

Which are the dynamics of mailing lists as social groups? How do they
organize themselves? Who are the main speakers and who the most socially
visual persons in those groups?
http://www.marumushi.com/apps/socialcircles/

Ever wondered how the rhizome list would look like if you wanted to draw a
map of it?
http://www.marumushi.com/apps/socialcircles/socialcircles.cfm?list=rhizome

All emails to the list are beeing plotted as they happen, which makes these
diagrams almost *live* snapshots of the current status of the lists.
Although on the works is a version which will let you see straight into your
inbox, in the time beeing if anyone has further ideas on lists you'd like to
see, please drop me a line.

behave,

Well that's the coolest thing I've seen all day. And I'm in the center! Ha!
That's odd, because my "day job" is working on a mailing list manager:

http://dadamail.org

If there's anything you'd like to integrate in the application level of my
MLM, like some sort of interesting API, let me know :) It may make an
interesting side project, as I'm going to be beefing up the Discussion list
support of it in a few weeks time.

dude.. i didn't know one COULD analize someone online ;-)

j/k

This is a very interesting work. It actually prompted me to post to the
list which I've been neglecting to do the last few weeks. Having
something like this officially connected with email lists could be a
very helpful tool IMO.

I have one question, do you consider this to be art? software? software
art? net art? Not that it matters much, it's an interesting piece of
socio-cultural software IMO, but I was curious as to how you approached
it or contextualized it for yourself.

Are you mapping other lists? which ones? can others use the tool to map
lists?

take care,

Yup, good work. Like the play back mode. I also like the wording of your post…kinda RSG/CIAish.

It has a drop down with other lists on the top left.

Hi there, sorry for the gap between mails.

Justin said:
>Well that's the coolest thing I've seen all day.
well, thanks a lot. Still trying to forget the cool factor out of it, I hope
it helps in coming up with mental images of this spaces, normally completely
hidden to the eye. That was the main idea that moved me into this project.

>And I'm in the center! Ha!
and now you guys pushed me to the center of the stage!

good one!. Well I'm not sure how we could work on that, I've been kinda
bussy latelly and I can't really commit myself into other projects right
now. I could give you an API for that and give you the source for the
project. Problem is it works mainly on CFMX+mySQL, and your stuff seems to
be pretty different. Well, maybe we could somehow figure it out, email me
offlist [mail at marcosweskamp.com] if you are still interested.

I definitivelly consider this net.art driven by non-academic research based
on academic research by a postmodern non academic self addressed artist.
still, my main interest was not really creating pretty flying circles, but a
visually interesting installment driven by live data produced by real
people;)
well, I guess… I wasn't really sure about what this all was untill I saw
it working myself:)

>Are you mapping other lists? which ones? can others use the tool to map
>lists?
yups, you can select other lists from the dropdown on the top left of the
screen.
I'm still asking people around to send me suggestions on other lists they'd
like to see, so If you have any potentially interesting one, please let me
know!

those are really wise words nikola. I'm not really sure If I understand it
thouroughly, though, but I guess you should say thanks.
