Why doesn’t News Dots show up in the Showcase? Did I just miss it? I searched for “visualization” and only found Thinkpedia and Wirecatch.

News Dots is pretty cool. I like that they built it on Flare. Jeff Heer, the guy at Stanford who developed Prefuse also did that…he does some amazing work.

We’re very interested in OpenCalais. I’d like to learn more about how partners monetize the service…

Thanks for mentioning OpenCalais. Building networks is what OpenCalais is all about – so I think there’s a great opportunity for integration here.

If you’d like another example – check out Slate Magazines News Dots – also powered by OpenCalais.
