Using LinkedIn data, Dave Troy of 410 Labs maps connections among Baltimore professionals [VISUALIZATION]

A visualization put together by 410 Labs’ Dave Troy displays the interconnectedness — or, as Troy argues, lack thereof — among Baltimore-area nonprofits.
“This visualization of 921 non-profit professionals in Baltimore tells quite a story: of turf wars, insular thinking, lack of awareness and disconnectedness,” writes Troy in the photo caption.

Using data from LinkedIn, Troy has put together a number of these visualizations since returning from a TEDx talk in Qatar in April. (Here’s one Troy put together of the Baltimore/D.C. tech community.)

Admittedly, visualizations are accurate only to a certain point, as commenter and The LEADERship executive director Jan Houbolt notes: “[T]here are names that appear very distant from me on the visualization who I know well and have worked with.”
Troy says that the LinkedIn data from which these visualizations are mapped “is slowly but surely becoming a close approximation of reality. … It will get better over time.”
