This guy is going in the right direction with his visualization engine. These graphics are way more useful then the GraphViz stuff I've been playing with.. There I am showing a little chunk of activity (or a complex mass of crap), here he is showing relationships over time..

I was thinking at one point about having a sidebar graphic that did this kinda thing, only vertically. User activity, audience, sources. This is _very_ cool.

I hear this is all MS based. People I respect keep telling me I need to get re-hip to various elements of MS tech. Grrr..
