awhile ago i contemplated exploring topicmaps and weblogs using
touchgraph
. while i never really got past
installing
touchgraph,
chris langreiter
mocked my procrastination with his excellent
vanilla vista
.
as with most things i did my best to forget about the whole thing, but
chris
has done gone and linked to not one but two recent developments. first is the
Google-API related pages Graph-Browser
:
“after playing around with the SOAP Google-API and Chris Langreiters Vanilla-Vista use of the the TouchGraph Java-Applet, I came up with this alternate ‘related-pages’ browser.”
and there’s also a new
wiki browser
:
“A new type of node has been added to represent pages external to the wiki. Thus, if an external URL has been mentioned repeatedly on several wiki pages, one will see multiple incoming edges for the corresponding node. A Show BackLinks checkbox allows back links to be shown or hidden. A Stop button has been added for stopping the graph motion. …and more… All these features really give one the ability to explore the structure of the Wiki.”
