Site Visulisation

2th February 2008

A couple of years and many domain names ago I came across a cool java applet that took the web page you specified and turned it into a visual representation of how that page is structured and colour codes each node. For the most part there is very little use to it, other than looking cool and geeky, hehe.

Spurred on by a drink fueled conversation regarding a foolish topic along the lines of 'can you draw a diagram of the internet?' I decided to dig this out as an example of how it could possibly be displayed using this applet. I've now spent far too long trying out lots of different sites and found reddit and bbc news to be very cool.

These days there is even a flickr tag for it!
