Temporal Visualization Experiment

Experiment with a layout showing textrunner extractions over time (specifically for George Bush). Extractions pulled from blog data and colored by time.

The tree is basically a set of triplets. The root on the left is for "President Bush." The middle layer are verbs (do, make, etc.) and the leaves are usually nouns ("phone call"). So mousing over that node shows the you you the times that Bush made a phone call (on the calendar view on the right). The bottom right view is a histogram showing the frequency of certain actions over time. Mousing over a calendar day shows all activies from that day. The tree is ordered by things primarily "done" earlier in the month (top of the display) versus later in the month (bottom).

This was done in GUESS.
