Website built with the Java and Perl programming languages



Conversation Map summarises and visualises very large-scale conversations which take place online in mailing lists, list services, threaded blogs, or busy Usenet newsgroups, like those that can be found on Google groups. Used as a graphical browser, it provides participants a means to see social and semantic relations that emerge over the course of a large, public discussion. The project aims at picturing the public of the network society so that we can understand ourselves as a body political.
