The Conversation Prism
I am catching up on my reading in India. 11 and-a-half time zones ahead of Chicago time and over my RSS transom arrives this new graphic that illustrates the emerging conversation that is happening online.
The prism is produced by Brian Solis who is a PR pro based in San Francisco.
The conversation map is a living, breathing representation of Social Media and will evolve as services and conversation channels emerge, fuse, and dissipate.
If a conversation takes place online and you’re not there to hear or see it, did it actually happen?Indeed. Conversations are taking place with or without you and this map will help you visualize the potential extent and pervasiveness of the online conversations that can impact and influence your business and brand.
I think it is interesting to see how quickly social media has evolved and impacts the media habits of Web-centric people.
Some other headlines and links from today’s list that you may show the impact this type of fast-evolving personal media creation consumption is having on an industry struggling to provide the same kind of in-demand services:

I produced this visual analysis of Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention using Tagcrowd.
Tagcrowd is a free Web site that allows you to provide a useful analysis and filtering out of common words.
This tool allows us see how many times a word is mentioned so that we can learn, at a glance, the content theme of a Web site or document.
To get this result, I used the on-screen controls that let me specify how many top words to show as well as set a minimum threshold for them to appear. After some trial and error I setteld on the top 50 words that had been mentioned at least four times in his speech.
I also applied what Tagcrowd calls a “Stop list” to filter out common words out of the image.
These are the words that were on my stoplist for this analysis: eight, once, seen, talk
It is not a perfect tool, but I think it can produce reports of value. As an adjunct to other analysis and reaction reporting techniques.
To see what Wordle.net can produce from the same materials, check out 10,000 words blog to see how Mark has assembled graphics from more of the speeches from the convention. President Bill Clinton, Senator Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, and Michelle Obama.
And this is a wordle graphic produced from the transcript of Barack Obama’s 2004 speech at the Democratic National Convention.
To compare and contrast, below is the analysis of the same transcript using tagcrowd.
