Default Browse Using The Swarm

http://www.swarmthe.com/

This is great if your bored and want to find some weird sites. The adult page filter comes on load so its semi safe for work hehe.
Swarm shows you what websites people are visiting, right now.

Swarm is a graphical map of hundreds of websites, all connecting to each other. It updates itself every second with where people are going and coming from. As sites become more popular, they move towards the center of the swarm and grow larger. Conversely, sites that lose traffic move away from the center and grow smaller.

Website traffic is symbolized with thin lines. Each time you see a line appear, it means someone has moved from one site to the other. You can gauge how many people are swarming around based on the number of lines.


EDIT: sorry can a mod please fix the title.. no sleep is making me more carless than usual. Thx.

Default Re: Browse Using The Swarm

I haven't checked this out, but it looks interesting and I guess if the recent quoted stat. that one in four seaches on the 'net are pr0n related then I guess the adult page filter would be kinda essential to make this useful/meaningful!


It also reminded me of a program (called HDtree? Or maybe Treemap?) that is for graphical representation of your hard drives space utilization....
