Comment of the Day: Visualizing the Real Time Web

2008-03-14T05:25:37Z

Over the past couple of days we've had two in-depth posts on the theme of visualization. This is one of our trends to watch this year; and so these posts are well worth your time reading (and viewing!). Marshall Kirkpatrick wrote User Interfaces Rapidly Adjusting to Information Overload and Sarah Perez wrote The Best Tools for Visualization. The winning comment is from Sarah's post and is from Anton of twingly.com. Anton pointed to his app, a screensaver that is a visualization of the blogosphere as a world globe.

]]> Congratulations Anton, you've won a $30 Amazon voucher - courtesy of our competition sponsors AdaptiveBlue and their Netflix Queue Widget.

Here is Anton's comment, followed by a video of his app.

"Our screensaver is a visualization of the real time web... more precise a visualization over the blogosphere, real time, as a world globe.

Read more about it here, and look at the Youtube-movie:

I think it's worth to mentioning!"

YES! is visualizing the real web, but is visualizing the real future technology,visualizing everything that you cannot hide it in the future,inside outside of the real world,Web Technologies is visualizing Earth to the Universe. The connection is SATELITE VISUALIZER! That is how it work. Note!Please read the design of globe.

Thanks a lot!

We have a lot of other ideas for how to visualize our search result (we have release of our spam-free blog search in the end of march) that hopefully will be top notch! Visualizations is really something that will bring the future of web apps to a wider audience.

This is very cool! Remember seeing it presented at the FOWA in London last year.
