The ‘Vizosphere’
Moritz Stefaner has created yet another amazing visualisation - This one he dubs the ‘Vizosphere’.

This map shows 1645 Twitter accounts related to the topic of information visualization. The accounts were determined as follows: For a subjective selection of “seed accounts”[1], the Twitter API was queried for followers and friends. In order to be included into the map, a user account needed to have at least 5 links (i.e. follow or being followed) to one of these accounts. The size of the network nodes indicates the number of followers within this network.
If you look very, very closely near the middle moving a little towards the top you should be able to see my Twitter handle ‘fallenblossom’. Yay, I made the grade!
