I´m curious about that... because I know what you mean when you say "I always seem to get lost in all the nodes and edges".. I feel the same even on my own representations. But, as is easy to see, it seems that network diagrams became more and more common... My question is: there is a better way to represent a network than a network diagram?, at least, there are good alternatives? I have my own answers, but I prefer to wait to your answer, or other people answers... Santiago Nathan,

I really found it interesting how many swipes he's taken at del.icio.us in particular. I published an <a href="http://serialconsign.com/node/94" rel="nofollow">interview</a> with him on my blog Serial Consign last summer and in the discussion he gets into talking about his process and influences a bit. 6pli is of course one of the main topics of conversation. :) Hi Nathan, I agree Santiago Ortiz’s work is very exciting.
