Vizster working!
2007 December 10
Today, instead of doing my laundry, I worked on a project I had laying around for a while: Visualizing social friends networks. Thu a not totally supported feature I could get a users friends. After modifying this data, and a lot of experimenting with yEd, a graph editor, and different dataformats, I found that it didn’t really support such a large dataset (18K nodes, 26K edges). So I switched focus to prefuse and Vizster.
And that worked! It’s really nice to play around with, and identify different communities between my friends. More on this later, I have to finish my laundry…

Hi Martin,
I’m quite new with this. And this tools looks really nice. After a while I did setup Vizter code in Eclipse project but I got:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\vizster\lucene\segments (El sistema no puede hallar el archivo especificado)

What I did wrong?
Do you know what kind of file I is “C:\vizster\lucene\segments”
Could you help me?
Thanks in advance.
