UnfluenceBlog: "Sister project
November 26th, 2007
Great minds think alike. Marco Borgna just contacted us to tell us about a nice Java/prefuse application he built to show networks of contributions to US governors races using NIMSP data. Check it out at http://weshowthemoney.com/
A nice feature is that it is shows data combined for multiple states, so you can get a picture of the activity of unions and PACs at the national level.
Are there any similar projects showing EU data?"

Unfluence is a great project of visualization !

UPDATE 9.28 25/11/2007: first version application online. send comments ( and report bug bug@weshowthemoney.com )! :D

My friend Daniele Galiffa from Mentegrafica.it has pointed me to the data coming from Follow The Money a nonpartisan organization dedicated to documentation and research on campaign finance at the state level.

I have used for now only data about Governors elected in 2006 and used they top 100 donors.

Images here and in my photo blog are the results of my first attempt to show the data using the prefuse visualization library

I will release the applet to produce the images when ready :D .










Italian follows :)

Qui potete vedere cosa si può fare in America con i soldi.

Qui potete vedere che cosa succede tra i soldi e la politica in America.

Qui potete vedere l'America.

Abbiamo ricavato i nostri dati da Follow The Money e li abbiamo resi visibili.

Si vede l'ambiguità di chi finanzia indistintamente Repubblicani e Democratici.
