Hi Warren! I saw your message to me about a new kind of tag cloud. Sounds like an interesting idea... Do you have any examples you can show?

Hi Martin,
I did a World Population graph on ManyEyes. But I also did a stock market visualization in HTML. There's a screen shot of it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Top_500_by_volume_on_the_NYSE.png that will give you an idea of what I'm doing. It's more interesting once you do it in java (or embed MouseOvers and links in regular HTML.) The nice part about the stock market visualization is that the names are all (just about) the same size. That avoids the problem in the world population visualization where Bangladesh looks bigger than Pakistan because it has more letters in its name. I'd be interested to know your thoughts on this!

Hi Warren,
I like that--I can see a lot of uses, for instance it would be fun to see a tag cloud on Flickr or del.icio.us that is colored by rate of change. |

Hi Martin,
I was going to write sooner but put it off - I really liked the cover-art-color-bullseye graph you did for Wired. Interesting visualization! Warren |
