Digg Tree Map
Tagged collections are best handled as graphs, but digg is different. It has exclusive categories. All articles are stored in a two-level tree. First you have the main categories, then the subcategories and finally the articles. So we have thought that the best tool we have to handle all this tagged collections is our tree map. Now, a new public Macro is available for you to browse digg published news as a tree map. Click on the image below.
Remember to go down the tree with the arrows or by clicking on the boxes.
Unfortunately, digg rss feed only gives the subcategory for each item. In order to classify them, using the main categories, we have made an external spreadsheet with a list of the items, and we have added the relationships with the different subcategories.
You can have a look at the spreadsheet clicking here, then you will be able to verify that it can also be used to assign colors to the different boxes. To execute the Macro we just do a “join” operation with the rss feed to expand the information for each item.
Enjoy it!
