@dma I love cool dashboards! This one reminds me of the old visual activity from digg back around 2008. Can't find a link to an example right now. Did you ever see that one?

@herchenroder no, i don't think i did. i'm a sucker for a good bit of data viz, but failing that i'll settle for brightly-coloured lines wiggling up and down.

@dma Me too. Not sure why but I've always loved the blinking lights on hard drives, and graphs and charts that indicate cool stuff.

I did a little more searching and found it was called "Digg Labs". They had some really sweet real-time visualizations. Good examples here:

Digg Labs is dead now since the original Digg is gone (I believe Digg was purchased and rebranded).

@dma These are impressive numbers! How exactly is an „active user“ defined?

@dma It's beautiful. I love a good graph.

@dma there’s 4x more peer instances than active users? am i reading that right? damn…

@kellogh yes. i'm... not quite sure how to interpret this.
