[p2p-research] Fwd: Visualization of P2P Business trends

Fri Dec 14 11:09:49 CET 2007

Dear friends,

thanks to a Thai volunteer, an extremely bright young man, I have a first
draft that gives a synthesis of the many p2p business trends we have
compiled in the business category ...

the aim would be to make the individual items clickable, and hopefully,
updateable by everybody ...

I remember Howard attempting something similar in Flickr last year ...

Any technical advice or other comments, and please include Purin, would be
welcome ...

After this one, I will try to make one for each section, one per month,

Michel

Michel,

Please see the attachment for another revision of the P2P Business
Visualization.  I have moved the yellow labels closer to the center
and everything else radiates from it.  However, I didn't want to put
connection arrows because they will make the whole graphic look busy.
The size of the visualization is much bigger compared to the last one.
 One question is whether or not the deepest nodes (all the hyperlinks
in blue) need to be grouped together (usually in 2-4 of them are
grouped together in one line based on the original document).

As for making this "interactive" -- as in the links being clickable.
There are three directions I see so far:
1. Flash version of the attached visualization.  Lots of work, but doable.
2. HTML mapping of JPEG image of the attached visualization (via a
method called hot spot mapping), however, it will be require a lot of
work each time the map is revised/updated.  This is much easier
short-term, but not going to be fun if the map gets revised say,
monthly.
3. Online Mindmap: I found a great online tool that lets you create a
mindmap, http://www.mindmeister.com/.  It's super easy to use and once
a mind map is created, there is an "online viewer" that can be
embedded on a webpage.  An example of an embedded mind map can be seen
here: http://eric-blue.com/blog/2007/11/mindmap_viewer_share_and_embed.html
(scroll down).  Looks pretty promising, but I haven't tried putting
your map into this format yet.

What do you think?
