Want to know who a given site's connected to? This is a pretty cool visual tool (requires JRE 1.3+). To use, type a URL into the 'enter starting URL' box. The Java applet will open. Add new URLs to see how they connect to existing ones by typing them in the box and hitting enter. You can drag nodes around and other fun stuff. For maximum visual overload, click the 'Advanced' button, then set 'Radius' to 'ALL'. Warning: The Java applet requires substantial CPU power to draw the graphs. Once your screen starts getting crowded with a few URLs, expect to see your usage curve spike. Probably not for lower-end PCs. Have fun playing with it. (I tried numerous times to link gamedev.net and various porn sites, but failed. On the other hand, there's a good deal of connections to random political sites depending on which gamedev.net URL you start from.)

Yeah, I remember seeing this a while ago on Fazed (should I admit I visit that site?[wink]). Pretty cool stuff.

Impressive.

I was going to do 'teh intraweb,' but I decided 1337 isn't for me (obviously; I even got that wrong).
