SocSciBot3 is written in VB6, and SocSciBot4 is written in the newer dot net development environment and is designed to be more user-friendly and more easily compatible with Windows Vista. My suggestion is to try using just SocSciBot4 but if SocSciBot4 does not work for crawling, use SocSciBot3 for crawling and SocSciBot4 for analysis. Most (but not all) SocSciBot3 Tools functions are now in SocSciBot4 and SocSciBot4 also has a network drawing package and is faster with some of the analysis.Mike Thelwallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11997243815649603823noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415719778958035313.post-64394590199820407452008-03-08T11:32:00.001-08:002008-03-08T11:32:20.485-08:00Welcome to the SocSciBot3 BlogPlease post any bugs or problems you have with SocSciBot3 here - these will help other users to know of any problems and the problems will eventually be picked up and solved by me.
