Blog Maps

Here's an interesting post on Creative Review's blog showing some images created using weblog information, specifically that which describes conversation threads within the blogosphere.


"Each one represents the “blogosphere” and was designed to show the relationships between weblogs. Within the maps, each “node” represents a weblog and the links between them represent the existence of citations e.g. where A cites B and B cites A – there is a reciprocal link. The maps are then laid out by inspecting the reciprocal links within the graphs and adding in those nodes (blogs) that are linked close to each other."
