Are there any social networking sites that allow you to dynamically visualize your social networks? Are there any that allow you to "tag" your ties to all the people on your social network graph? The research and ability is out there - just look at visualcomplexity.com, but my question is - why can't I navigate through my social networks on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Gather, or anywhere else like I can navigate words in VisualThesaurus. In fact -- I designed a think-client application a few years back that allowed just that (dynamic visualization of strong, weak, absent, negative ties - with tagging) - but I don't see any innovation in the online social networking space that allows for it. Why is that?
Further, why does LinkedIn make it so difficult for me to connect with connections of my weak ties? If the value stream of a social network is the number and strength of the ties and the co-creation of content within those networks -- why does LinkedIn put so many obstacles in my way? -- ~ will "Where you innovate, how you innovate, and what you innovate are design problems" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Will Evans | User Experience Architect tel +1.617.281.1281 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] twitter: https://twitter.com/semanticwill --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
