"Swarming" Web posts
So if you've been following my "newsy" posts closely, you would have realised I "dug" a number of my stories from "digg". While following the story of Saddam Hussein's hanging, I discovered a feature that I never knew existed on the site. As the name suggests, it presents a dynamic, graphical view of when someone submits a post in the form of a bubble, when someone links to it via a connecting arch, and allows you to mouseover and click on any of the "bubbles" or stories that appear. It is almost like watching a live animation of viruses moving around in liquid culture under a microscope. Try it for yourself! It certainly makes for an interesting experience, and maybe a new way of surfing blogs and posts?? Hmmmm
