摘要: Recent years have witnessed the dramatic popularity of online social networking services, in which millions members publicly articulate mutual "friendship" relations. Guided by ethnographic research these communities, we designed and implemented a visualization system for playful end-user exploration navigation large scale networks. Our design builds upon familiar node link network layouts to contribute customized techniques exploring connectivity graph structures, supporting visual search analysis, automatically identifying visualizing community structures. Both public installation controlled studies provide evidence system's usability, capacity facilitating discovery, potential fun engaged activity
