Gephi: Free open-source data visualisation and exploration software for complex networks

Just came across the awesome Gephi open graph visualisation software below thanks to an article on the O'Reilly Radar, which looks like a must-install for any analyst. 

Gehpi is a free open-source interactive data visualisation and exploration platform for all kinds of networks and complex systems, dynamic and hierarchical graphs such as free text analysis and social networks (and it runs on Windows, Mac and Linux). 

Check out the below introduction video and the WikiLeaks analysis by Jonathan Stray, download the software and some free sample data and get cracking!

Watch this video, just amazing what you can do - I wonder what happens if you use this to analyse connections between popular website pages or products for cross and up-sell.

Tynt: Leveraging the copying and pasting of your website content for search optimisation

Tynt is an interesting piece of technology that deals with people copying text from your web site. The software essentially adds a backlink to the copied text that is also trackable. The result is that when people copy the text, more often that not they will also paste your link.
 
The benefits of this technology are pretty obvious, more back links which increases traffic and aids SEO, as well as additional analytics to help you better understand your site content.
 
The company has a patent pending on the technology and it is apparently already used by thousands of sites. It is free and the total javascript payload is only approximately 12k. Worth a try, particularly for content rich sites ...
