2. Discussion

Main Issues
A. Social Network
B. Information Visualization
C. The use of the visualization of soial network

A. Social Network
- Complex systems: we live in this system
- Network theory: Representation of relation (node-link)
- Social network theory: understanding relation of humans
- On-line social network: structures (financial, sexual, friendship...)

=> Virtual community ~~ Visualization method

Networks (shneiderman`s mantra) - Indivisual views (bottom-up? from element to whole) - Whole views (top-down? from whole to element)

Add issue
1) What different between relationship of on&and off line?
2) How to connected on-line social networks?
3) What is Medium of virtual relatioship? (Rebuil based on deceit)

ex) Relation of Unit(Human) ~ vizster
(One of way, Metaphore of Digital Age... ?)


B. Information Visualization
Overall show the connectivity of people.

Vizster purpose: Fun and Familiar?
-> Discovers(stranger) and Organization(acquaintance)

Add issue
1) What is Social narrative? Social interaction?

C. The use of the visualization of soial network

Friendster (breakaway 'Real world')
- positive: Understanding social(human) relationship, find the position of community
- negative: Misuse open_informations, feeling of relative deprivation from virtual community

Add issue
1) Death of privacy and violence from anonymity.

ex) Amazon & Google know about you!! but you can not take cognizance of this situation...
