THURSDAY LECTURE 27.08.09 "DATA VISUALIZATION"

Mr Jason Nelson spoke on the creative ways to use the internet, to create interesting content. Jason also referenced to 'Net Art'.

We need to look at ourselves and what it is we want to put on-line. We must remember the 1997/8/9 "dotcom" boom and subsequent crash!

Jason exampled the differences between Magazines and there costs and required sales to the a website with its low overheads and need for less subscribers to make money.

Very interesting talk on Social Networking sites and their rankings and the current trend now for these sites to get more specific and target their audience.

A great example of a useful and individual website - that utilizes information from different sites and combines the info in a user friendly and interesting forum. The site is called http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/index2.php and an initiative of the Hungarian government.
