So many ideas are there.You can test the software by uploading data on our website and getting the corresponding Flash charts.This is for a limited number of users. You can also download a trial version. It has a feature to export EXE,PPS,HTML and AVI files. The most impressive is the AVI since you can record Audio/Video for the charts you create.http://epicsyst.com/trendcompass/FreeVersion/TrendCompassv1.2_DotNet.zipPlease feel Free to contact me. I will be glad to help you.Regards.Ossama Hamed trend@epicsyst.com Trend Compass Team Epic Systems www.epicsyst.com Dear Sir,

It seems to me, that it was tried to solve this by integrating the visualization on the website, but I find this concept lacking: I'm not going to look at abstract boxes and randomly click on them to see what was going on there – I hate clicking. Also hovering would not be an option for me. I want to see words and paragraphs, because I'm so quick at deciding whether I find something interesting or not if I see it (that's why I hate paginated comments, too). That's what I love about maps, they have a very high density of information by integrating text, colors, textures, lines, big and small elements, etc., but are still easy to navigate. Not that a discussion has to be visualized to look like a map, I'm just saying that I'd love to see that kind of virtuosity and density in handling words and graphics. It should also make more use of interactivity, e.g. with zoom, animation or time-based interactions. (It's not on paper).

In our research group we are working on similar issues trying to visualize both the behaviors of the discussion actors (in a abstract manner) as well as the content of their discussions (with a more typographic flavor), since we believe that the two aspects should be of equal importance. We hope to release a first version of our tool by the end of this month to start a fruitful discussion about this research area.
