This works best in Chrome. The javascript intensive visualization will grind all other browsers to a halt

Thought it would be interesting to visualize the connections of Hubski in a different way. Though the graph should be directed, I wanted to keep it simple, so right now it's undirected. Size represents the number of followers someone has. Let it settle for a couple seconds, then click the "Stop Layout" button. You can zoom with your mouse wheel.

Many users haven't been crawled yet, so that's how you see some popular users still show up as small dots. As more of the site gets crawled, it will be updated. However, I don't want to bring hubski down by launching a shit ton of requests super fast. So, it's a pretty relaxed web crawler :)

Look at it here

Very amusing to see what looks like a sun flare of redditors surrounding ytknows and lolsail.
