Portfolio: Codes, Projects and Hacks < life under electronic conditions

Here’s a short list of the diverse hacks, mashups and projects that I realized within the last weeks (you never know who’s reading ;-):

Friendfeed’s Six Degrees: FF6° displays some information about your network on Friendfeed. How many friends-of-friends do you have? What are the most influential nodes in your network? The program allows exporting the network data in Pajek and GraphML format.

Twisaster: Hurricanes, bomb blasts and earthquake live alerts on Twitter.
Twetter: How’s the weather in Twitter country?
GrapeFeed: Real time display of lates tweets about wine from Riesling to Saperawi.
Twetter: How’s the weather in Twitter country?
EcoFeed: Tweets about climate change, ecology, organic food, sustainability, biodiversity - what do Twitterati think about these topics?
DrinkFeed: What are Twitter users drinking right now? From coffee to beer.
EatFeed: Tweets about various delicatessen like Döner and Currywurst.

Metaroll: A directory of over 10,000 (mostly) German language blogs sorted by the number of times a blog is refered by other blogs’ blogrolls. Every blog has its own dynamic entry (e.g. Spreeblick, one of Germany’s most influential weblogs) that also shows thematically related blogs. This way it is possible to surf the blogosphere vertically. The logic behind is based on social network analysis.
Metaroll Science, Metaroll Food, Metaroll Media and Metaroll Job: Theme channels based on Metaroll and Technorati authority. At the end of the page is a “blog cloud” displaying which blogs have grown or shrunken in the last 30 or 7 days.
Mivino: A map showing the latest entries of German wine blogs.
BlogReach (English version): Visualization of German language blogbuzz about topics like TV stations, video platforms, publishers, social networks, parties, political youth organizations, US elections and microblogging. Who’s hot and who’s not?
Blog History Project: Charting the history of German language blogosphere from July 1996 until now.
