Hmm, ok, maybe that’s a bit much, but data visualization tools can certainly help to make complex data easier to understand. After seeing some pretty impressive data visualizations of social networks for Last.fm and Scouta, it occurred to us that it might be interesting to try and visualize the StumbleUpon network.

I would hate to see your product get tied up in some dumb courtroom for no good reason.

Dat kon grappig zijn, interessant zijn, of mooi zijn. Een leuke avond in de Velvet Lounge in Mt Lawley. Vrijdag was het allemaal wat officieler (nou ja, zo begon het…. ), de WA Web Awards, in het Duxton Hotel. Een black tie event, met diner enz. Wij hadden geen kans op een award (voor enjoyperth dus), voornamelijk omdat ik het maar vreemd vond om mezelf te nomineren. Ja, ik heb er spijt van, was goede publiciteit geweest, ook al hadden we niet gewonnen! De avond eindigde in de Amplifier Bar. Was een grappig gezicht, wij in formele kleding dansen tussen alle ‘normale’ lui!

It is written in Python, and uses this GFX library: http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/GFX/ to render the visuals. I found it a little weird that the TC article mentioned these minor technical implementation details... @Matthew:

Is ICCARUS a web application or desktop application ? Turbogears is a web framework for python and GFX library is a java graphics library. So I presume that this run as applet or webstart application ? ICCARUS is cool and can be used in data-mining to enhance social network relationship building. From techcrunch, it quote
