Rolaid's guide to network visualization

Next week I am headed to Sunbelt, the mother of all SNA conferences, where my colleagues and I will be admonished to gorge ourselves on plates of powerpoint spaghetti like this:

I often ask colleagues suffering from spaghetti-network indigestion, how do you spell relief? (Forgive me for that gratuitous pop-culture reference.) They spell relief...

• m-e-s-h-f-o-r-u-m, which is hosting its second annual all-comers network conference, this time on network visualization, May 7-9 in San Francisco.
• v-i-s-i-u-a-l-c-o-m-p-l-e-x-i-t-y, the wonderful visual resource compiled by Manual Lima, who will be a guest of honor at MeshForum.
• M-A-S-9-6-5, the course on "social visualization" taught by Judith Donath, director of the Sociable Media Group at the MIT Media Lab. Her online reading list will expand your visual horizons far beyond nodes and edges. (Thanks David Carpe for pointing me to MAS965.)

BTW, network visualization is one of my favorite topics. You can peruse my postings about it relatively effectively here.
