We've been using this little known but very useful database for a couple of years and while it's not perfect (eg, in many cases more current pictures would be useful), we think it does a solid job and offers some useful visualizations (aka NNDB Maps) between people, companies, organizations. Here's Kagan's "NNDB Map." More on NNDB and maps in a second post in the next day or two.
Elena Kagan has appeared on C-SPAN eleven times.* This page lists all of them and provides direct links to the video. This does not include conformation hearings.
* Although the C-SPAN page says twelve appearances, one entry where Solicitor General Kagan is listed as "professor" does not return any video when selected.
Her most recent appearance was on Monday, May 3, 2010 at the 7th Circuit Bar Association Annual Meeting in Chicago. Before Solicitor General Kagan offers her speech, retiring U.S. Supreme Court Justice Justice John Paul Stevens shares a few remarks in a 10 minute presentation.
In the transcript section you'll also find the the audio of Kagan's September 9, 2009 oral argument before the Supreme Court of the United States (Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission).

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.
A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?
Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.
What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
