visual comparison of online censorship / information
aesthetics
a visualization that allows users to quickly identify the most
significant differences in content between 2 lists of Web pages, meant
to help comparing the effects of censorship policies on search engines.
one interface simply compares the image thumbnails of 2 identical
search queries by putting them next to each other. the textual
visualization shows the individual tag clouds of the 50 terms that are
most particular to each query's results.
while the goal seems quite intriguing, the visualizations seem to require extensive visual comparisons. any ideas how the authors could make the interface more efficient?
