Visualizing the Social Network

This has probably been done a number of ways before—but here is my version of the Social Network Visualized Download viz_net_copy.pdf . The “community clusters” are tightly linked communities that interact with each other while the green dots represent interactions which occur between community clusters.

It’s meant to be ultra simplified—yet show how online communities are linking, and interconnecting with each other through blogs, feeds, online forums, mobile etc.

Social Networks are expanding and evolving into a sustainable form of digital community.  These communities, composed of clusters are helping to fuel Marketing 2.0.

David,

Have you read Malcom Gladwell's "The Tipping Point"? Would be interesting to visualize how ideas spread via the social network using Gladwell's connectors, mavens, and salespeople patterns as an overlay on the diagram.

I have not read—but have heard about. I'll do some digging and check it out.

Thanks for the comment.
