Presidential Watch 08 Website ^ | 06/23/08 | Presidential Watch 08

Posted on 06/23/2008 5:59:39 PM PDT by GRRRRR

Here's an interesting representation of the "Blogosphere" and how Free Republic appears in this map. As far as I can tell, FR get's linked to or has links from? all these sites that we have a tie to...

Red are conservative, Yellow are "InfoPits"? and Blue...the enemy...Go to the website and you can search on websites and vary the size of the display to achieve better resolution. Sorta fun to see...



TOPICS: Culture/Society; Miscellaneous; Technical
KEYWORDS: blogosphere; map

Glaring error on this site—Drudge Report is listed on the red (conservative) side. There is no doubt that Matt is in the bag for Obama in 2008.

It’s ironic, how we have allowed the terms “Red & Blue” to be totally hijacked by The Left.

The left could not allow any reference to Communisim (Reds), so they co-opted the thought of the Sheep. And now, even the Right has it engrained.

Hey, I just post the stuff...I don’t have to unnerstan’ it!

I THINK it is a representation of lots of blogs, forums, newsites and how each one interacts with each other, size of the dot relates to number of hits perhaps, while relative position of the dot to the ‘center’ shows how influential it might be, or how many total links to other dots it might have...

Ergo, I must conclude that FR is well used and referenced across the Blogosphere by others reading us and then cross posting our posts to theirs...

Anyone else explain this better, some MATH Enhanced Freeper???

The fact that the lines are also blue doesn’t help appearances.

It is so very nice to see that “all roads lead to Jim”!

It lists Authority Degree and Xeno Degree, but I haven’t found a definition of those at the site yet. FR is a 500 in the authority scale. That looked impressive until I saw that the AP is 666.

Uh oh...XENO degree??

Maybe someone smurter than me can tell us all what it means, I just thought it was cool looking. Other info at the site, tracks relative number of news items for Oblama and McCain...

My popup blocker wasn't letting the Notice button work, but that explains it all.

The size of a node is either determined by its Authority Degree or by its Xeno Degree.

Authority Degree:
The size of a node is proportional to the number of inbound links. The more inbound links there are, the bigger the node is.

Xeno Degree:
The size of a node follows the number of sites linking thereto that do not belong to its category. The more a website is pointed to by websites of other categories, the bigger the node is.

There's some more cool info that I haven't read yet. I don't know how useful this site will be, but at least it looks cool.

I'm right there with you. Scientifically, red is on the left and blue is on the right. Oh, and yeah, there's the Commie thing.

I downloaded Java to view that (I'm running Firefox tonight instead of IE).

I'll admit, that's pretty cool.

But, WTH is it?

That was a graphic representation of www.freerepublic.com
Here’s what the colors mean:

What do the colors mean?
blue: for links (the A tag)
red: for tables (TABLE, TR and TD tags)
green: for the DIV tag
violet: for images (the IMG tag)
yellow: for forms (FORM, INPUT, TEXTAREA, SELECT and OPTION tags)
orange: for linebreaks and blockquotes (BR, P, and BLOCKQUOTE tags)
black: the HTML tag, the root node
gray: all other tags

Click the "Map Keys" link in the upper right area of that map page for an explanation.
