It’s been a while since I posted some nice data visualisation images, so thanks very much indeed to Neoformix for providing an excuse to do so. Jeff Clark has created a visualisation of the most populaar stories on Digg and how they connect by user, date, topic, words, domains and topics.
On a practical level, this is an excellent way to take in the Digg conversation in a single snapshot and to explore some of the connections between stories.
If we’re to take this as representative of what’s going on in Digg right now, one thing that’s interesting is that the World and Business category is as big as Technology. Time was, not so long ago, that Digg’s main focus was tech related stories.
But the real magic begins when you switch to looking at the relationships between words in stories…
…or indeed any of the other filters.
