Software for representation / analysis of internet discussion forums

[Martin Kopf]

Dear Celso,

In not entirely sure I understood what you're looking for.
But check out Prezi.

With some creativity you can do lots of interesting stuff
that might not have to do with presentations at all.

Have fun and good luck,

Martin Kopf
