Similar to Site-mapping project, Webtree Visualizing via Gource

“Gource can visualize itself. Freaky. It’s all thanks to the ongoing awesomeness of OpenGL.

I’d love to see this added to project management so you’d have a sort of live, superb visual to inspire you to keep the code moving forward.  Who knew source code would turn out to be so visually inspiring? (Now I just need a new way of visualizing me writing bad code and then correcting and cleaning it up. I think it could be best represented as a set of stick figures getting stuck in quicksand and hitting each other over the head. Then there could be a big Smoke Monster that represented the Evil Force of Procrastination.)” Peter Kirn, CDM

Just a scary-similar video to our site-mapping projects, and rightfully so.  The idea of actually keeping track of the traffic in the form of not only a comprehendable but visually stimulating  model is really just…rad (yea, I said rad…in reference to the old VHS biking movie that is oh-so rad)
