It's like the Visual Thesaurus but for your LJ friends.

Clicking on a name changes the focus to that name.

A facinating toy, very interesting! I can think of a half dozen other ways to visualize the data, my last .bomb was deeply involved in data mining tools for a ~14 terabyte database. Nifty stuff, thanks for the link!

PS: Holy cow that thing is CPU hungry, ate 90-100% of my 1GHz PIII.

How do you think my 333MHz PII went?

Well, I'm flattered to be considered in such lofty company! Those two can draw! ]:-)

Very interesting utility! Thanks!

Bah, drawing's nothin'...getting repeatedly bitten by bats out of the goodness of your heart, that's cool. (Well, it'd probably be just as cool if you managed to avoid being bitten, but as a statement of dedication to batkind, it can't be beat!)

My last effort at drawing with anything other than rendering tools:

Well, at least I think that "tre" hidden behind Ngarewyrd is me...

That is you! I don't have any other tre* friends.
