[Sigia-l] Card sorting & cluster analysis for over 100 cards

[Chris Rourke]

Hi all

We are doing some card sorting work for a client involving over 100
cards.  This  is by far the most we have had to sort in any session (the
client actually had over 500 topics they wanted to include!).
Anyway, the problem is that IBM EZ sort (consisting of Usort and EZCalc)
only seems to handle 100 cards maximum.  If I try to run the cluster
analysis & create a tree diagram in EZ Calc, it crashes.  (anyone
reading this from IBM - maybe something to work on for the next Beta
release 1.4?)

Are there any programs out there that allow over 100 topics in the
cluster analysis, ideally leading to a tree diagram like the EZ sort?  I
know there are several others out there (WebSort, Web Cat, CardZort) -
do any of these do the trick?
If you want to send your answers directly to me, I can summarise for the
list.

Many thanks
