edtechpost - PLE Diagrams
Collection of diagrams showing PLEs--lots of different ideas here
Social Collider
Visualize connections in conversations on Twitter. Search for a user, tag, or trends. Tweets that generate conversation appear as spirals as they bounce around between people, so perhaps someone with lots of spirals would be someone who generates lots of conversation rather than just talking at people.

Are your visuals saying what you want? Part 1 Visual Elements » VisualsSpeak blog
Part 1 of a 3-part series on visual communication, focusing on dominant lines and shapes. Even though this is specifically about images on blogs, the principles can be applied to any visual communication.
Creating a Storyboard
Brief introduction to storyboarding for multimedia projects with examples of a paper storyboard and a flowchart/mindmap in PowerPoint.
Chartle.net - interactive charts online!
Lots of types of charts: pie, bar, line, radar, timeline, maps. Licensed CC-By so OK for pretty much any use.

Dipity
Create a timeline by adding each event manually or by adding a source (Flickr, RSS, twitter, etc.) Images, music, and video can be included in events. Related services include Tickr, which lets you create a dynamic timeline with Flickr images based on search criteria, and TimeTube, which does the same for YouTube. Some people are playing with this as a way to visualize the river of information from the Connectivism course (CCK08) this fall.
Trendpedia - blog trend search
Graphs the number of blog posts over time which include a search term or phrase. Works even for terms with low numbers of actual posts (e.g., edupunk). You can compare the trends for up to 3 terms at a time.

Student projects showing trigonometry concepts through annotated Flickr images. The pink sweater is my favorite.

Look at sample Wikipedia pages with highlights based on how trustworthy the content is. Trustworthiness is based on the author's reputation. Only 100 sample pages are available right now, but it's an interesting concept and a cool way to view the development of Wikipedia articles.

We compute the reputation of Wikipedia authors according to how long their contributions last in the Wikipedia. Specifically, authors whose contributions are preserved, or built-upon, gain reputation; authors whose contributions are undone lose reputation.
We call this a content-driven reputation, since the reputation is computed automatically via text analysis. This contrasts with other reputation systems, such as those in use at
![[WWW]](http://trust.cse.ucsc.edu/wiki/modern/img/moin-www.png)
Ebay, where buyer and seller reputations are computed on the basis of user-provided ratings.
