New Ways to See Old Data
I’ve been reading a great book, Web.Studies edited by David Gauntlett and Ross Horsley. It is provides research and studies done on the web as a form of communication instead of a technology. I just finished the first section of the book and it presented an interesting website, www.touchgraph.com. TouchGraph creates a map of sites based on the “related” function in Google. This could be a great source to locate new places to find links. If you want to see this data a different way, just type in “related:yoururl.com” in Google, but personally, I think seeing a graph is easier to understand then a list from Google. As I come across more worthwhile resources in the book, I’ll be sure to pass them on.
