In the same vein check out this trend graph for the polls on Obama vs. Hillary vs. Edwards — you will find it very interesting.
]]>@Nathan, I’ve added your blog to the resource list. I spent way to long on it yesterday reading all your analysis and enjoying the visuals. Keep it up!
@M – I’m going to have to look up this Edward Tufte fellow. Thanks for the name. By the way, I’m not coming to Nairobi again without meeting you in person… 🙂
@Josh – I think that’s an excellent idea. The Kenyan blogosphere would be an excellent place to start. Once all of the data is aggregated on blog, bloggers, tags, etc. you could do some really neat things. Not sure Harvard or MIT need any of my help, but would love to be part of any such project.
]]>I was wondering if anyone has every done a visual representation of the Kenyan blogosphere. I’m working on some applied math geeks from MIT on some Social Network Analysis work, and though the Kenyan blogosphere would be a great data set to work with (and maybe useful for our Berkman case study)
]]>I’ll admit I feel the same way as you do here – mainly your second point on making it real and understandable. Thanks for this info, it will be great to have a look at!
]]>I see I’m not alone in having an interest in visualizing data. Hands down one of the best resources are the books by a guy called Edward Tufte. Have a look and let me know what you think
