Visualizing Wikipedia page edits

Computers & Mobile Craft & Design


Jamie @ F.A.T writes

A visualization of people who’ve contributed to the Barack Obama page on Wikipedia. Users who edit a lot drift toward the center. Best watched full screen. Visualized using code_swarm (Processing) and my new Wikipedia page history parser Wikiswarm (Ruby). Instructions on how to make your own visualizations can be found in the README.

    I wish the graphics were a little more detailed in the video. In full size they rendered really poorly, though.

    Politics aside, that was one of the best mashup songs I have heard since the Ballmer “developers” techno mashup.
