Hive Plots - Linear Layout for Network Visualization - Visually Interpreting Network Structure and Content Made Possible Collaborate.org launches new platform to map the world LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. -- Collaborate.org wants to bring geospatial data to the masses, beyond where Google Earth has gone. The company, which launched Wednesday at the Future in Review conference here, is built around a geospatial visualizer, with more than 2 million data layers that can be overlaid on maps, and a broad set of collaboration tools. "We want to harness the collective knowledge of the online global community, sharing expertise and enthusiasm," said company CEO Kevin Montgomery. "We are providing worldwide geospatial infrastructure to empower people." Collaborate.org is built around World Wind, an open-source, spatial visualization platform developed by NASA. "World Wind is Google Earth, but you can do what you want with it," said Patrick Hogan, NASA World Wind project manager. The data layers include real-time sensor data, GIS data, and aerial and satellite imagery, as well as news, tweets, and other kinds of information that the company or users contribute.
Social capital Social capital. The notion of social capital is a useful way of entering into debates about civil society – and is central to the arguments of Robert Putnam and others who want to ‘reclaim public life’.

We examine its nature, some of the issues surrounding its use, and its significance for educators. Contents: introduction · social capital for starters · types of social capital · the decline in social capital · some critiques of the bowling alone theses · the benefits of social capital · social capital in organizations · social capital and informal education · conclusion – some issues with social capital · further reading and references · links · acknowledgements · how to cite this article Social capital for starters For John Field (2003: 1-2) the central thesis of social capital theory is that ‘relationships matter’.

As Crowdfunding Grows, the Rewards Increase -- but So Do the Risks The campaign to front a movie based on the cult television show “Veronica Mars” through crowdfunding broke records for the fastest project ever to raise $1 million on Kickstarter. It was the website’s biggest film project so far, and it has the most backers of any project to date. What it probably didn’t do, Wharton experts say, is throw open the doors of crowdfunding to major motion pictures. But that’s OK: Crowdfunding is successfully helping entrepreneurs raise capital without the need for them to go Hollywood. What the “Veronica Mars” case does illustrate, however, is that Kickstarter and its crowdfunding brethren have proven their mettle as mainstream, reliable avenues of funding for both start-up businesses and established firms. Not only do crowdfunding websites provide a cheap, easy way for individuals to seek start-up funding, but would-be investors are also doing an excellent job of picking winners out of the crowd, according to Wharton management professor Ethan Mollick.
