That sounds and looks really cool. I had an idea a few years back about a visual social network, like a mind map instead of a timeline, so love the thought of shaking up existing paradigms.

@colinwalker ah thanks, its been on the boil for a while, but want the next 12months to really get some traction. I’m hoping to kick start the delightful return of Spatial Hypertext

Reading about spatial hypertext it lines up to a degree with what I was thinking/imagining. I think the big problem is presentation.

@colinwalker indeed, one of the reasons why I am creating the delightful design manifesto which will have Humanity Centred Design at its core. Am looking at Dieter Rams and ULM School of Design and more for design and ethos inspiration, it has to be delightful to use. Context, navigation and taxonomy will be highly important too. Its complicated for sure 😀

I hope it all comes together for you. I think I may dig out my old piece and put it on the blog (it was on Google+ before until I deleted my account)

@colinwalker cool, if you do I’d love to take a look. Any feedback comments and input is really welcome am trying to do as much of my work in a open manner.

It's not much but here it is.

@colinwalker cool, good read, reminds me of some of the data visualisation stuff the NYTime RnD department did I think with Jer Thorp on Twitter...

@colinwalker this is a blog post I did a while back on Data Visualisation and here is a TED Clip with Jer Talking about Project Cacade

I like the way Cascade visualises it - very much along similar lines.
