A retrospective on social networks

To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and
install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.

First network, one year ago.

The network of testimonials.

Repeating the analysis: an evolving network.

A tentative poster layout.

The final poster design.

A retrospective on social networks by GustavoG.

It's been now one full year since I published on Flickr the first network visualizations of the contact network, followed by the network of testimonials.
I then updated the analysis, and played with the algorithm and the visualization to produce a poster of the FlickrVerse.

The task seemed big back then, but Flickr was very small compared to what it is now...
