SxD schema -- looking for design collaborators

I'd like to build a social interaction design schema, probably as an
overlay to conventional wireframing for social media, but i'm not a
visual thinker. at all.

if anybody's interested, I'd like to channel some social interaction
design theory out of words and into a visual framework. I have an idea
for how to do it, but I'll need help.

takers? ping me.

cheers,
adrian

Touchscreen keyboard research?

Question 2 of the evening: has anyone done any comparative user research yet on different layouts for touchscreen keyboards on mobile phones? I'm just not convinced that the metaphor translates for a QWERTY keyboard on a one-hand device with no actual buttons. Will probably do said research myself if none of you lovely people has taken it on yet.

Where can I get Flash maps of US, including counties/districts?

I was looking at the NYTimes.com's and CNN.com's voting results displayed on
interactive Flash maps.

Is there any software or plug-ins of the United States offered in
Illustrator or Flash, that outlines each
states and their respective counties?

Does anyone know anyone who works at the NYTimes or CNN online whom I could
contact to ask?

Thanks!
