‘exploring the corridors of iterated similarity you get on Google is a good way to spend an afternoon. That’s what makes the TouchGraph Google Browser so much fun. Entering a URL lets you see a graphical map of its various “Similar pages” links, as well as the pages similar to those pages, and so forth. It’s Java-based, so it presumably runs on anything able to run JRE 1.3+, with typical Java alacrity. Once you have your initial map, you can then start building out the maps of similar sites, even adding seemingly-disparate links until you find connections. Surprises are common. TGGB is an amusing way to spend the day, yes, but also a useful tool for seeing links that you may otherwise miss.’ From worldchanging.com.
I’m now running this for Radley — FASCINATING.

I remember you told me about TouchGraph. I didn’t realise you can do this with it!
