Re: social circles

Hi Ele,

I love the concept for your project.
Especially the inclusion of non-net based artist.

There are a number of R & R semi-affiliated artists out there (especially in
Chicago) Prison Rights, Mumia, Police Brutality, etc.

Please keep me informed.

Cheers,
Lee

Hi Ele,

thanks for the heads up. When I looked back at it this morning, seemed the
database had crashed.
I just restored it and should be working properly. - data right there is
slightly old, so it will take a while until it shapes again as it was
looking like a couple of days ago.
the url hasn't changed:
http://www.marumushi.com/apps/socialcircles/


Your project seems super interesting though, please let me know if you need
any help with it!

best regards,


-marcos

Regarding social circles:

Marcos, I took a look at your site. Nice work. I was suprised to see
myself represented as a circle on more than one one of the mailing lists you
follow. I too am a CF/Flash/FarCry developer and have been studying social
networks & information spaces. I'd really love to see how your software
works. It reminds me of something one of my professors here at UC Santa
Cruz built - a conversation mapper that allows a user to visually trace
usenet conversations. A colleage and I were planning on building a
visualization system in flash for representing XML data as a hyperbolic
tree. A was reverse-engineering something similar Samuel Wan made a while
back… We were trying to come up with ways to show associations found in
the amazon referrer system (customers who bought this book also bought…).
Anyway, It looks like you came up with not only a way to collect and parse
interesting social data, but to present it as well.. Have you heard of
FOAF? (google::foaf) It's an XML document type which can be used to map
assoctiations between individuals. Anyway, I thought it might be useful to
your project (at least conceptually). Also, I am interested in
collaborating on or writing about something of this nature… let me know
if you are interested.

Feel free to take a look at my article on SmartDocs in the latest eyecandy,
UCSC's journal of Film and Digital Media: http://eyecandy.ucsc.edu
