What AM I Seeing?
The above visualization titled 'Themail' was developed by Viégas, Golder and Donath[1]. It presents a person's EMAIL archive over eighteen-month period focusing on occurrence of words in the emails. Going from left to right, each column indicates one of the eighteen months. Each column is made up of distinct words that were found in the email communication. The bright colored words in the foreground indicate words selected from each month and light colored words in the background indicate words selected from the year. Font size of the word indicates how frequently distinct words occurred during the month/year. The diagram also shows colored circles in each column, each circle indicating an EMAIL during that month. The colors identify if the EMAIL was received or sent and the size identify the size of the EMAIL. The white-colored list on the right side shows list of all the people that communicated with the owner of this EMAIL archive. In the above diagram, word 'performance' is shown in white font indicating it is selected. The light color box on the left shows list of all EMAILS that contain the selected word, 'performance'.
How Is This Beneficial To Me?
Themail, gives an interesting visual perspective of EMAIL archive, showing the person’s relationship with other individuals, especially as certain events occurred and such events were communicated via EMAIL. The visual may be compared to a photo album, providing the person opportunity to look back in retrospect and recollect events from his/her past, as those events got communicated through EMAIL. A person may view the visualization as an overview of his/her relationships with family members and friends, even sharing the visualization with others [1]. The visualization can also be viewed to find specific information in the visualization, especially in being able to identify information that is related to a particular project [1].
