"What is Social Network Analysis? A social network is a map of the relationships between individuals, the analysis involves a study of these relationships.
How do you do a Social Network Analysis?
* Step 1. Design your questions. We’ve discussed this a little here.
* Step 2. Send out your questions as a survey. Surveymonkey is a great online tool for this.
* Step 3. Export the survey results into a visualisation package. Personally I like Netdraw." -

"Participatory Impact Pathways Analysis (PIPA) is a project planning and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) approach. It is a relatively young and experimental approach that draws from program theory evaluation, social network analysis and research to understand and foster innovation. It is designed to help the people involved in a project, program or organization make explicit their theories of change, in other words how they see themselves achieving their goals and having impact."

"As someone who loves to play with analytics, visuals, maps, and other geekery, I've been wanting to explore in more depth the how-to and the techniques. To take my learning deeper on social network analysis and mapping techniques and how they can be applied them to a social media strategy, I took a workshop with Marc Smith. He is a self-described "Internet Sociologist" and developer of NodeXL. The workshop was organized by colleague, Tatyana Kanzavelli"

(Valdis Krebs, 2002). Social Network Analysis (SNA) is a method for visualizing our people and connection power, leading us to identify how we can best interact to share knowledge."

"Maps tell powerful stories about the communities and the world in which we live. Maps are a visualization tool, a way to help us transform columns of data into useful knowledge about the people and places around us. The MapTogether project provides free map-related training and tools for community and nonprofit groups around the world. Our resources include software, data sets, online mapping services, documentation, and training resources. In addition, our geographers provide free in-person "community mapping clinics" in cities across the United States and Canada."

"Treemaps are a growing trend in online data visualization and you've likely spotted one or two around the web. But what are they? Treemaps, sometimes written as "tree maps," display hierarchical information in a series of clustered rectangles, which together represent a whole. The size of each box represents a quantity. Treemaps also can use color to represent any number of values, but it is often used to categorize the various boxes within the treemap. "
