Visualising Slashdot
In order to help you in the process of analysing our data, we have made available a visual tool called WET, which has been prepared to enable the visualisation of threads of Slashdot. The tool provides an overview of a single conversation, showing details when hovering a comment and enabling the mapping of a set of Slashdot metrics (e.g. score) into a set of visual attributes such as colour, size or shape. To try out the tool you just have to click here, and select the corresponding file of the thread that you would like to visualise.
Once you click on the name of the desired conversation, you will have to open the thread:
You can also find a video demo that may help you to understand the capabilities of the tool.
If you have any comments or suggestions regarding the tool, do not hesitate to contact us (victor.pascual [at] barcelonamedia.org)
