An Experiment with Visual and Semantic Relationships

I am very interested in online collaboration tools. This experiment is an early offshoot of some tools and techniques I am developing:
| A visual 'map' as a collaborative workspace. In this case, the goal is to build a visual representation of the Web 2.0 space, including entities (people, concepts, companies) and relationships among those entities. |

Nice visual mapping tool Andre! It reminds me a bit of the news visualization tool that I have come across on some tech news site (of course, now I can't find it...I link to it from a email newletter). It essential does a visual map of the news stories and major subjects; clicking on one brings it to focus and re-builds the map. Maybe another of your readers will know what site it's on...
Keep up the great work!

Found it! I thought it was Cnet where I saw the visual mapping tool, but couldn't find it on my first search there. Here it is: the big picture.
What I was thinking about your visual map application is to have a way of linking different term types together visually in the map and not just in text. Like what the big picture does...not to see what the crowd thinks...
