The Issue Crawler (issuecrawler.net) is Web network location and
visualization software for issue professionals. Enter URLs of
organizations working in an issue area, and an issue network is
returned.

The Issue Crawler Back-End Movie is a demonstration of how the Issue
Crawler works. The movie is also a narrative of a research project
conducted with the Issue Crawler and allied tools. The movie focuses
on the implications of global civil society's 'issue drift.' As
global civil society and intergovernmental organizations move from
issue to issue, from place to place and from forum to forum, the
question is, do they remember what is happening on the ground?
