Noteworthy people social graph
by: Taly Weiss May 18, 2008
An interactive visualization of the lives of 32,000 ‘noteworthy’ people (dead & alive) that tracks their activities. The data includes the biographies of each important individual, and is displayed in a graph which documents the connections between each one, many of which are not totally obvious.The idea behind it is the theory that ” as a person’s otherwise inexplicable behavior is often understood by examining the crowd that person has been associating with.” Very very interesting Wonder how Bush is connected to Enron is connected to Steve Jobs is connected to The Beatles is connected to Apple is connected to Barbara Walters? Strongly recommended. Check it out.
