April 16, 2003buddyzooOK.. I gave in and put my data into BuddyZoo (solely because it is a project being done by a well intended CalTech student). BuddyZoo is another game at social networks.. this time, they are looking at AIM buddy lists. And this time they are doing a visualization (although very limited). Let's see where he takes this puppy... Category: instant messaging

They've done some viz, but they don't let users run them with our own data... how come no one (friendster, ryze, etc) gets that that is the killer feature for sixdegrees stuff? And, it would be the perfect interface for browsing people because it keeps you oriented on what your connection to them is...

Well, visualizations are often confusing and rarely well done. It's a killer app, but it has to be done right.. that's the trick. n-dimensions worth of data on a 2D screen has to make a lot of sense to be meaningful... of course, you've noted a pet peeve of mine...
