Swarm

"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."



Although it is a bit confusing at first, it is a rather interesting tool to see what people are browsing, and opens up interesting avenues of exploration that would otherwise be hidden through regular browsing.
