LivePlasma … This Is Just That Cool
LivePlasma. Go. Now.
I discovered this place just today, when looking at a News.com article on Multiverse. News.com has collaborated with LivePlasma to produce an awesome searching tool for all their news.
Before really looking at it though, I clicked on the LivePlasma link, and had a play.
Unbelievable. This is so very cool. The way the tree of related nodes flies out from the main sphere. The way the searches fade. The Zoom spheres. The roll-over functionality. You just have to go have a look.
Now, if only this was a plugin for Wordpress. Ha ha.
It’s got a massive amount of potential. And the coolness factor.
Anyway, it’s possible I’m excited about something that will fade away … but I don’t think so.
This is just that cool.
Here’s what a search for “x-men” under Movies looks like:

When searching by Artist/Band the layout changes slightly.
Have since discovered, while searching digg, that this has been around for a few months. It hasn’t received a lot of press on Digg. Maybe it is just a flash in the pan.
I’ll check further afield for more history, see if anyone else is doing anything with it.
