[MG] Talk bubbles for crossforum theatre

@strange email behavior
Maybe the fault of Microsoft outlook

@different maps for different purposes
There is a whole branch of science called "Visual Analytics". (Interested
people might start with the reading of "Using Vision To Think" (by Ben
Shneiderman, Jock D. Mackinlay, Stuart K. Card)
I think they can stand side by side, because science  has invested a lot of
thought  into different visualizations but not so much into combining them
into one do-it-all-visualization. Might not be possible, but I think it's
easier to start with existing "infoViz" programming libraries instead of
reinventing the wheel :)
If it is really of any value to be able to see both kind of views at the
same time, you can still interleave them. That's what Fraunhofer IDG is
doing in the Semavis Project which is part of THESEUS Program of the Federal
Ministry of Economics and Technology of Germany.
(http://athena.igd.fraunhofer.de:8080/InteractionAnalysis/SemaVis4/SemaVis_F
ramework_Demonstrator.html)
(Just click the link above and choose several different layouts from the
dropdown-menu and click "add". You will see how the underlying data is
visualized by different visualization techniques, but they are interleaved,
so you can do something in one view and the other views will change too.)

For the programmers, maybe some of these libraries might be useful:
(Prefuse, protovis, feketes infovis toolkit, indianas xml toolkit, Raphael)

Sorry, I meant to say: two different types of maps.
