Hola Lorena,
gracias por el comentario.

¡La verdad es que no, nunca he oído hablar de las cosntelaciones sitémicas de Hellinger! Parece muy interesante…

¿Tienes aconsejos sobre que leer del tema?
¿Hay recursos online?

¡Gracias!

Habéis oído hablar de las cosntelaciones sitémicas de Hellinger?? Es que la filosfía de este hombre está plasmada es vuestro concepto.

Gracias, Lorena

Thanks for the comments! @Openworld I see the Net-Map toolbox as a great offline low-tech tool, very useful to set up social network analysis interviews where this kind of data can't be retrieved with software. An integration between Net-Map and Twitter would be a different step: Twitter is very limited for interviews and in order to make a mashup with the Twitter API, we should transform first the Net-Map toolbox in a software application. At the moment you can find a lot of examples of projects using the Twitter API in order to visualize social networks on Twitter: http://www.breakingpointsystems.com/community/blog/visualizing-the-twitter-social-network http://flowingdata.com/2008/03/12/17-ways-to-visualize-the-twitter-universe/ http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/blogger/2007/04/19/twitter-social-network-analysis/ http://laikaspoetnik.wordpress.com/2009/03/26/visualization-of-twitter-networks/ http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-socialtools/index.html http://mediaczar.com/blog/2008/12/some-twitter-social-network-analysis/ http://www.slideshare.net/walterra12/visualizing-conversations-in-twitter And these two applications: http://twitter-friends.com/ http://twitter.mailana.com/ @Eva Schiffer Thank you for publishing the Net-Map toolbox! :-) Actually, I've never tried it, but Net-Map is what I was waiting for, the bridge between Social Network Analysis theories and books, and actually developing interviews on the field in an easy way. I look forward testing it soon, I will let you know about it. At the moment, I'm working on a social network analysis and open source project, it's in an early stage but you will know something more about it soon.

Dear Massimo,
Thanks for introducing Net-Map here. Great that you give it enough room to actually enable people to use it after reading this post. Have you actually tried it? I am always looking for new case studies to introduce on my blog. So if you do, please contact me.

Dear Mark,
I’m pretty old-school (have a twitter account but never use it…, and think for many scenarios you just cannot beat the effect of having real THINGS to move around and play with – but I have been thinking about a number of online or other computerized applications.

So far I’m looking at a combination of social network visualization software (such as Visualyzer) and online facilitation tools (such as eluminate) to allow people from all over the world to draw a Net-Map online together. What do you have in mind when you talk about combining it with Twitter tools? And: What are resilient communities?
Cheers
Eva

Good insights here. Is anyone considering a mashup with existing Twitter analytic tools (e.g. Twitter Analyzer) or the Twitter API itself to implement the net-map toolbox ideas here?

If so, we’d love to explore how it could be used in resilient communities.

Best,
