The Digg animations are mesmerizing. The challenge with Twitter, IMO, is to pull out the dynamic nature of the site and also the relationships among users. I'm sure you've thought of that. ;-) Nice work! The Digg animations are mesmerizing.

We have one that reports on <a href="http://www.ni-limits.com/blog/index.php/meaningful-data-visualised-stylishly/" rel="nofollow">something similar</a>... We also noticed you are using the <a href="http://blog.widgetpi.com/the-wordpress-mega-feedjit-geo-stat-widget/" rel="nofollow">WP Mega Feedjit Widget</a> from Widget Pi, and wanted to let you know that Version 0.5 has been released, which allows for easy customisation of the colours and so forth... Nice article…

We're still taking in the feedback from Friday's Blocks launch, but we're certainly aware that the experience could be clearer and that the piece could be more readable without clicking around a lot. Actually, you're quite rare in being able to describe it correctly without our help - that should tell us something! It's quite likely that the piece will be improved following feedback like yours. We used the same approach for Digg Stack and Digg Arc, both saw significant updates after first launch and we're much happier with them now. We're proud of Twitter Blocks, but never too proud to say there isn't more to do. We're also big fans of Lee Byron, if only he wasn't interning with IBM (http://blog.many-eyes.com/2007/07/27/introducing-the-matrix-chart/) perhaps he could come and intern with us!
