Visualizing the Answer
http://www.techreview.com/articles/wo_sherman031904.asp
Gnooks.com offers a new twist on affinity searches for people interested in tracking down book recommendations. First, type in the name of an author that you like. Then, instead of arranging its search results in a scrollable list, Gnooks sprinkles the names around the browser window where they jiggle as though jockeying their way toward the center. The closer another work is to the name you typed in, the more likely it is that you'll enjoy it, too (at least, that's what Gnooks thinks). The mastermind of all this is Marek Gibney of Hamburg, Germany, who has also developed Gnoovies (for movies) and Gnoosic (for music) sites. All three sites connect to a central Gnod.net site (Gnod stands for global network of dreams). "If 90% of the readers of Douglas Hofstadter also like [Stephen] Hawking, the distance between these two writers in the Hofstadter-Hawking dimension is 0.1," says Gibney. The graphic representation of that information makes it easy to process, says Phil H. Goddard, a director at Human Factors International. "Human beings are spatial processors. [Such tools] are capitalizing on the effect that we see patterns and learn patterns and parse patterns faster than we process text."
