Monday, June 23rd, 2008Really interesting demo right now of a mapping tool, Linkfluence, that’s being used to map the political blogosphere, and various aspects of this year’s election. Followed by Michael Hurst of Microsoft, who’s also doing some very interesting mapping. Definitely fellow travelers!

Heading to NYC to speak at Personal Democracy Forum 2008!
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008Hi. Experimenting by riding Bolt Bus ($15 and free wi-fi plus no one to bother me. What’s not to like?) to NYC, where I’ll be speaking at Personal Democracy Forum 2008 (pdf2008) on data feeds and data visualization as part of a panel on governmental transparency. Looking forward to some great speakers (you can […]
My data feed/data visualization white paper published by nGenera!
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008I’m a proud papa!
nGenera, Don Tapscott’s firm, today published the “Democratizing Data” paper I co-authored for their Gov. 2.0 program.
It covers the two major aspects of a public data program:
publishing data feeds (particularly on a real-time basis)
then using data visualization tools such as those from Many Eyes or Swivel
to use both within government agencies and […]

I’ve just posted presentation on public data and government transformation
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008Hi! getting back into swing of things after finishing my white paper on public data and data visualization for Don Tapscott’s Gov. 2.0 project (sorry, it’s only available to project subscribers) and preparing for my forthcoming speeches on the subject at the Personal Democracy Forum, June 23-4 & Netroots Nation, July 17-20.

Great sessions at Government Leadership Summit!
Monday, June 2nd, 2008I’ll try to summarize stuff after I get back from the Government Leadership Summit. Major emphasis throughout on emergent behavior, “wisdom of crowds.”
Suffice it to say that I think Vivek Kundra, the District of Columbia’s CTO, is a rock star!
Gotta go: my panel, on Intellipedia, is up next!

Chris Jordan photos: powerful/beautiful argument for public data
Sunday, May 25th, 2008Welcome from Oberlin Ahia (couldn’t resist that: my father’s people were from southern Ahia, north of Cincinnata south of Klumbus, and several hundred miles west of Warshington. Folks up here don’t seem to share that accent).
While here for my stepson’s graduation, stopped by the college’s Allen Museum to see the exhibit of works […]
I’ll speak on data visualization at Netroots Nation
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008Thanks again to Micah Sifry! He’s added me to a panel he’ll be a member of at this year’s “Netroots Nation” (which evolved from Daily Kos‘ Yearly Kos conferences that have gotten such attention in the blogosphere and media in the past).
Once again, I’ll speak about data visualization, not only as a tool for […]
Those quakes aren’t just shakin’ earth, but also communications
Thursday, May 15th, 2008Hi. Breaking long radio silence (it’s because I’m working on a longer piece about neat research at U of Colo. by Leysia Palen that substantiates my “networked homeland security” approach, and on a white paper for Don Tapscott’s Gov. 2.0 project on my data visualization obsession..) because two recent earthquakes have driven home how […]
Small is beautiful: Twitter your way out of foreign jail!
Saturday, April 26th, 2008This blog has certainly suffered since I began my infatuation with the lil’ microblogging phenom, Twitter (hmm, maybe I should use ManyEyes to graph the inverse relationship between the number of recent “tweets” to recent blog posts…).
It’s at least partially because I like to really put some serious effort into each post on this […]
