The network maps below show the results of IssueCrawler [1] crawls of blog posts containing the phrase "David Hicks" and relating to the case of Australian-born Guantanamo Bay detainee David Hicks [2], in March 2007. Authority levels relate to the choice of seeds for the network crawl - using the Technorati authority settings "a lot of", "some", and "a little authority" as a filter for recent blog posts. For more detail, see IssueCrawling the Australian Blogosphere: Mapping Discussions about David Hicks [2].

Each map image is also available as an interactive SVG graph (around 900kB each) - available through the links below the images. The Adobe SVG viewer browser plugin [3] is required, and maps will display best in Internet Explorer. Full-size map images are available on Flickr - please click on the map images below.
