Leeds Blogs by Centrality over 6 Days

This is a dry run for a larger project that I am conducting with colleagues at the Institute of Communications Studies, University of Leeds. This is the Leeds online website and blog network over six days. In late June 2011.

Each circle is a website or blog. The size of the circle indicates the centrality or 'importance' of the website in the exchange or flow of ideas and interests.

The lines between the circles are hyperlinks between the sites. The thicker the line, the stronger and more valued the link.

When a line turns red it means the link has been removed. When a line is green it means that a link has been created.

So if a site moves from the edge towards the centre it has gained in control of the flow of ideas and interests for that period.

As it stands it contains the top 200 sites and this is expected to change substantially in the final data collection period.
