Abstract

This paper proposes Social Landscapes, a visual interface which supports exploring by visually displaying histories of user and interrelations between users in a social networking site. Social Landscapes visualizes the activities of each user through diary postings and the access status to online services, and the number of comments to the diary as landscape scenery. We describe a case study that did not emphasize the analysis of the total social network structure or for user search, but rather emphasized a visualized interface for improving the user’s recognition of other users and friends in SNS.
