Map of Online Communities by D'Arcy Norman.

a map of my loosely defined online community of practice, generated by ToughGraph.com. It's not exactly exhaustive, but for an automagically generated map, it's pretty cool to see the links between clusters of communities. Teachers are sort of in the upper right. Edtech-types loosely in the middle. etc...

This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

Very cool representation...it has a less techie feel than some network maps. Nicer font, colour, varied shapes...

TouchGraph.com, not TouchMap - the latter is something else entirely... And how'd you get that run - I don't see anything on their site...

Ah. Good catch. Brain thinking one thing, fingers stumbling out another... Try this link narcissistically starting with my blog url...

OK, Bryan. Here goes...

1. Go to touchgraph.com
2. Select the "TouchGraph Google" link (or, skip the first 2 steps and just click here).
3. Enter a url (just a domain name, I believe, no http or the like) or keyword(s) to map.
4. Twiddle the sliders, open nodes to view more, etc... Try dragging stuff around to watch the fun auto-reposition logic at play...
5. Take a screenshot.
