More del.icio.us visualisations...

Posted April 25, 2006 10:19 AM.

A while back I received an e-mail by a guy called Kunal Anand asking about whether he could get his mitts on the raw dump of my del.icio.us data to work some visualisatory / processing magic upon. I sent him the data and stuck a dump of it online for the rest of you people to play with, and then promptly forgot all about it. Then I went to America for a month and my Inbox filled up with immeasurable amounts of stuff that I'm still now ploughing through. And today I've stumbled upon the visualisations he completed, and they're pretty beautiful:

You can also see the larger originals here and here should you be interested. Now all I have to do is work out exactly what they're representing. I'm going to write back to him straightaway and ask!

I love seeing all of these pop up. I think it's great how each one is kind of personalized.

Tom--I've got a Flickr series of my recent del.icio.us tags at http://flickr.com/photos/jhammerb. I also posted the Python script I used to make the visualization. I'd be happy to produce some graphs if you'd be interested.

Very nice. I just ran across a similar processing applet that created art from Atari code. Makes me want to make my own based on my own code. Picture it- a Processing applet that makes art based on its own source code! Ouroboros!
