Six degrees of Kevin Bacon : a webinar on graph visualization (and movies) - Linkurious. See Graph Databases Easily. Watch the video record on-line at watch.neo4j.org. In the 1960′s a scientist called Milgram unveiled the underlying social networks in human societies with a few simple letters. Today it seems networks are everywhere but without tools and techniques to explore them, they remain mysterious.
In a coming webinar, we’ll demonstrate how to use Linkurious to find information in the “Hollywood graph” and why Kevin Bacon is the center of the known Universe. Six degrees of Kevin Bacon Milgram’s experiments are linked to the small-world phenomenon. Through a series of experiences, Milgram and other researchers proved that human societies have a short average path between different people. How to explore graphs Graph exploration is not just a trivia game though. On Thursday September 05 @ 08:00 PDT / 17:00 CEST, we’ll present a webinar on the exploration of graphs. . - how to see the connections of a single node; - how to explore a graph starting from a local view; - how to run advanced queries; CUP - Making Policy Public - Making Policy Public.

The verdict: is blogging or tweeting about research papers worth it? Eager to find out what impact blogging and social media could have on the dissemination of her work, Melissa Terras took all of her academic research, including papers that have been available online for years, to the web and found that her audience responded with a huge leap in interest in her work.
In October 2011 I began a project to make all of my 26 articles published in refereed journals available via UCL’s Open Access Repository – “Discovery“. I decided that as well as putting them in the institutional repository, I would write a blog post about each research project, and tweet the papers for download. Would this affect how much my research was read, known, discussed, distributed?
I wrote about the stories behind the research papers – the stuff that doesn’t make it into the official writeup. So what are my conclusions about this whole experiment? Some rough stats, first of all. The image above shows the top ten papers downloaded from my entire department over the last year.

The Next Big Social Network Is You - The BrainYard. Three trends just now emerging will alter the social network landscape. Oh no, not another social network! Between all the noise about Facebook's upcoming IPO, the Twitter censorship imbroglio, and Google +'s constantly shifting privacy and identity policies, is the business world really ready for more social networking? Yes, and here's why. Social networking is about to shift from chasing large numbers of followers--which is really a publishing broadcast model and not a business contacts model--to a smaller group of well-connected individuals. The race to acquire lots of LinkedIn contacts, Facebook connections, and Google+ and Twitter followers can quickly lead to social networking fatigue, as you spend your day updating activities, responding to various email platforms, and aligning your networking activities with business goals. Three trends emerging now will change that picture. 1.
The big networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn really don't want you to leave their confines. Revealing Economic Terrorists: a Slumlord Conspiracy. "Sunlight is the best disinfectant" - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis A client of ours -- a small, not-for-profit, economic justice organization [EJO] -- used social network analysis [SNA] to assist their city attorney in convicting a group of "slumlords" of various housing violations that the real estate investors had been side-stepping for years. The housing violations, in multiple buildings, included: raw sewage leaks multiple tenant children with high lead levels eviction of complaining tenants utility liens of six figures The EJO had been working with local tenants in run-down properties and soon started to notice some patterns.
The EJO began to collect public data on the properties with the most violations. As the collected data grew in size, the EJO examined various ways they could visualize the data making it clear and understandable to all concerned. The data I will present below is not the actual data from the criminal case. Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5.

The data was collected during an informal survey by WNYC, a New York based public radio station. Each circle corresponds to a unique zip code area in New York. Its size indicates the number of moves to, or from, the area. Each circle actually consists of 2 overlaid circles: a red one for people moving out of a specific area, and a blue one for people moving into the area. Individual circles can be selected to inspect just the moves to or from this area. PARTNER Tool - Program to Analyze, Record, and Track Networks to Enhance Relationships.

If the pattern made by their travels could be compressed into one short animation, what would it look like? What could you learn from it, if anything? Deluge is a C++ application designed to answer these questions. The data was generated by cross referencing 8 million tax records from 2006 and 2007 to track changes in postal codes. Norwegian tax returns In Norway the incomes and fortunes of all tax paying individuals are made public every year! In addition to these beneficial stories the press has used this data for a few other not so awesome things: news on celebrity earnings and SEO optimized pages for every single tax payer.
Data as granular as this is usually reserved for government administration, not handed out to the press. Uniquing tax payers It seemed interesting to track people across years and it turns out only 70.000 Norwegians are not unique by name and year of birth.
