Digg Labs / Stack & Swarm

As visualizations of information these are pretty nifty tools. I'll have to play around with them a bit to see how they work, but it's a nice way to quickly see rankings/relevancy in the Digg community.

From Digg Labs:

"Digg moves very quickly, and has a great many stories submitted every day, so good material can sometimes fly by before you even know it. These interactive visualizations look beneath the surface of the Digg community's activities."

Stack

"Stack shows diggs occuring in real time on up to 100 stories at once. Diggers fall from above and stack up on popular stories. Brightly colored stories have more diggs.

The visualization has three modes: all activity, popular, and newly submitted stories."

Swarm

"Swarm draws a circle for stories as they're dugg. Diggers swarm around stories, and make them grow. Brightly colored stories have more diggs.

The visualization has three modes: all activity, popular, and newly submitted stories."
