			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.artbabble.org" target="_blank">ArtBabble</a> officially launched in the <a href="http://www.imamuseum.org/lab/" target="_blank">IMA Davis LAB</a> one month ago today.  We have been attentively watching the invites that have been sent and accepted since that time.  To date, almost exactly one out of every three invites has been accepted.  Without a baseline it&#8217;s hard to say whether this is good or bad, but hey&#8230; we&#8217;ll take it.  A few days ago, <a href="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/author/dincandela/">Daniel</a> <a href="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/2009/02/19/new-media-ramblings/">posted a chart</a> showing the number of new users per day on ArtBabble.  I would like to share some visualizations of the invites as of this morning.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/abinvites-dot-large.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3468" title="abinvites-dot-small" src="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/abinvites-dot-small.png" alt="abinvites-dot-small" width="510" height="127" /></a></p>
<p>You can click on any of the graphs to get a larger view.  The points in the graph are all ArtBabble users.  The lines between the points represent an invite that was sent.  The top point in this graph represents a fake user, &#8220;ArtBabble&#8221;, that has &#8220;invited&#8221; all the first tier of users.  The <span style="color: #0000ff;">blue</span> lines represent these pseudo-invites.  The <span style="color: #ff0000;">red</span> lines represent an invite that was sent and has not yet been accepted.  Finally, the <span style="color: #00ff00;">green</span> lines represent an invite that was sent and accepted.  This graph also lets us easily see that the longest invite chain included six people.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-3464"></span><a href="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/abinvites-twopi-large.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3466" title="abinvites-twopi-small" src="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/abinvites-twopi-small.png" alt="abinvites-twopi-small" width="510" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>This graph shows the same information as before, but is layed out a little different.  Finally, it was interesting to drop the fake ArtBabble user to get another perspective.  It&#8217;s fairly easy to pick out who our power-inviters are.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/abinvites-neato-large.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3470" title="abinvites-neato-small" src="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/abinvites-neato-small.png" alt="abinvites-neato-small" width="510" height="521" /></a></p>
<p>Thanks to all those who have spread the love, and drop us a line if you would like an invite.  Once we can announce a few of the partners, we will retire the invites and allow ArtBabble to go public.</p>
