Yahoo launches podcast search site | CNET News.com

This was so MSM that I almost didn't post about it. Yet, it will be a milestone so I want to capture the date and initial reactions. Yahoo launches podcast search site | CNET News.com Hey, the real news is how CNET is experimenting with social network analysis under the name "The Big Picture." This interactive image has a bullseye or dartboard like central image. You move and click it to see the connections for this social net. It uses colors to represent aspects of the story--companies and corporations are one color--technologies are another color. You can move around and choose to "center" on any of the nodes in the net to see the story and how the connections play out from a variety of points of view. This is REALLY COOL.
