wiki-vision

so, another person who is way smarter than i has created another kick ass website that I can waste hours on.

It only shows the edits done to articles by people whose IPs are not hidden, but still

I have spent the last 20 minutes mesmerized by these popping-up bubbles. people editing entries on things i have never heard of,..... it's just an illustration of how random, wide and quick changing the world imagination which is the internet can be....
