@Oz
No kidding. How can a visualization based completely on someone else’s news visualization be in the running? Newsmap has been around for years, DiggGraphr is embarrassing in it’s blatancy. (and I know Marcos who did newsmap, and if he did a Digg visualization, it wouldn’t look exactly like one of his already popular visualizations. He’s got a few more tricks in his book than that.)

Interesting that people are reporting speed issues, I didn’t see any speed issues with these and I’m not running a top of the range machine, AMD 64bit 3400+ with 2gb of Ram, these all purred for me.

Apollo looks interesting but so far the two apps I tried just launch and do an initial display and then crash consistently…

Anything that brings better graphics to the web beyond the neanderthal graphics we get now with SVG/VML/ is a step forward, though I wish it were opensource.

Hi,

Some of these visualisations are really cool, especially Digg Charts and WordWeb.

You may also wish to check out my visualisation (although I’m not a contender) which is a map that is updated in real-time with the locations of diggers as they digg stories.

Check it out here: http://www.bitt...ees.com/diggmap

It’s an interesting way for them to generate new ways to interact with their site, but I agree that most people aren’t going to want to download some custom software just for Digg. Maybe they’ll just incorporate these ideas back into their main site.

“Think of Apollo as a “Browser-less” way to interact with the web – it’s an application like any other application you would install on your computer but this application can support countless applications that have the capability to blur the line between your desktop and the web without ever opening a browser…”

How very meta.

Hm. Will Digg select one winner, then send out “cease & desist using the digg name” letters to the rest?
