Usenet Map Exclusive!!! (3/5/98)
Marc Smith, a graduate student of sociology at UCLA, has developed a program called "NetScan", which methodically goes through the hundreds of thousands of messages posted to Usenet newsgroups each day, collecting valuable information and creating a sociological "map" of how the Usenet behaves.We here at TMC NewsBreak are proud to announce that the first such "map" created by NetScan is now available, and we have it first. We apologize for the relatively large size (41K) of the image, however, the Usenet is a vast landscape of information, and a certain amount of detail is necessary.
