“…These displays are seen by thousands and it is natural to ask what new opportunities arise when visualizations move to an environment where vast crowds of people can create, view and discuss them. Not only are interactive visualizations a key medium for communication in a data-rich world, but preliminary reports hint that visualizations potentially have a catalytic effect on storytelling [26] and collective data analysis [28].…”

Abstract-We describe the design and deployment of Many Eyes, a public web site where users may upload data, create interactive visualizations, and carry on discussions. The goal of the site is to support collaboration around visualizations at a large scale by fostering a social style of data analysis in which visualizations not only serve as a discovery tool for individuals but also as a medium to spur discussion among users. To support this goal, the site includes novel mechanisms for end-user creation of visualizations and asynchronous collaboration around those visualizations. In addition to describing these technologies, we provide a preliminary report on the activity of our users.

“…Hence, they become available for reflection and discussion. Viégas et al (2004) revealed the impact of visualizing the e-mail history for the participants in e-mail conversations: Their visualization of evolving social relationships, made visible from email exchanges, prompted users to tell stories about their social network. At present, there are first attempts to foster self-reflective storytelling by visualizing artifacts based upon activities in social networks (Zalinger 2009).…”

Utilizing Verbally Told Stories for Informal Knowledge Management

In knowledge management, the act of telling stories is utilized to capture and convey knowledge. Spoken language is the basis for telling stories. Collaborative audio-based storytelling uses the act of verbally telling stories in groups. In this paper, we explore how to utilize verbally told stories for informal knowledge management. To identify the requirements for an information system that supports collaborative audio-based storytelling, we review the body of knowledge in relation to storytelling and knowledge management. After reviewing the state of the art, we present the CASTing information system. CASTing (Collaborative Audio-based StoryTelling) addresses the identified requirements and supports a process for collaborative audiobased storytelling. CASTing consists of a client application which supports nomadic work as well as a web portal which aims at building a storytelling community. We present CASTing along our process for collecting, structuring, linking and using verbally told stories. We conclude with a report on first experiences as well as an outlook on future directions.

“…The timeline, besides providing an overall perception of all the listening history, guides the user while exploring his/her listening history. In the doted visualization, much like what Viégas did in [20] and [21], each stacked dots bar encode a time interval of the selected time period, and each dot represents a data element (artist, album or track) listened in that interval. For example, in Figure 1, each column represents a day, and each dot an artist listened in that day.…”

Over the past years, music listening histories have become easily accessible due to the expansion of online lifelogging services. These histories represent the sequence of songs listen by users over time. Although this data contains intrinsic users' tastes and listening behaviors, it has been mainly used to personalize recommendations. Tools to help users exploring and reasoning about the information contained in the listening history, only recently have started to emerge. In this paper we describe a new visualization and exploration tool that allows users to interactively browse their listening histories, while leading them to identify listening trends and habits. Our solution combines a rich-featured timeline-based visualization, a set of synchronized-views and an interactive filtering mechanism to provide a flexible, effective and easy to use system for the analysis and knowledge exploration of listening histories. This was complemented with brushing and highlighting techniques to uncover listening trends about artists, albums and songs. Experimental evaluation with users revealed that they were able to complete all the requested tasks with a low error rate, and that they found the solution flexible and easy to use. Additionally, users were able to infer about their main life events and listening changes, which indicates that our combination of visualization techniques is effective in conveying relevant information about the listening habits.
