HTML Graphs: an update The impact of the little HTML graph applet blows my mind. Here's what has happened in one week:

In the last five days of may, I had 114'579 unique visistors on aharef.info.

As I write this, 345'117 networks have been created.

According to technorati, 1'686 blogs link to aharef.info (aharef.info is not even two months old, so all the links are due to the HTML graph applet). Technically, this makes aharef Switzerland's most technorati - linked blog, but I'm not even on this list (not that I care ;-)

Massive coverage on del.icio.us, Digg and other sites, Flickr likes it a lot, Wired and Spiegel wrote about it etc.

I write all this to apologize that I haven't updated the blog recently - sory!! I'm very busy with the paintings, but I will update the applet soon. But please, take the source code and extend / modify it in whichever way you want, I'm very curious! Also, note that I read all comments and trackbacks on this site, so please keep posting.

I happened upon this site last evening - don't ask me how - and was transfixed at the HTML Graph Applet.

Go to the link and enter your site's URL, and watch what happens. The source code is available, here:

I do not understand how to save the graphic as a "screenshot." Please explain. I saved the page but could not upload it into flickr.com. Is that active graph a *.gif?

[butternut_squash_bisque]

FR's like The Energizer Bunny: keeps going and going and going. LOL!

Note to self: this thread went over like a fart in church. Next time, don't waste the bandwidth, and be more discriminating in what you post.

[socal_parrot]

You should've titled the thread...

"NASCAR.com Website as a Graph"

NASCAR threads always get a lot of play.

[butternut_squash_bisque]

Here's how to save and print. He's asking for a 'small donation', but there's got to be a way around that...

[butternut_squash_bisque]

LOL! You're soooooooo right.

Is the pink dot the Jeff Gordon Page?

[Space Wrangler]

Very cool, but can someone explain to me what I ma seeing and what all the dots represent. I just tried it and it hasn't finished rendering yet, so maybe I'll have more answers when its done.

This was posted before. That's probably why the interest was down.

Any recommendations for someone who only gets a gray screen?

[butternut_squash_bisque]

I did a search, but nothing came up.

What browser are you using, V?

[Jack of all Trades]

What does the graph represent?

[butternut_squash_bisque]

At the bottom of the rendered page, is an explanation of all the colored dots.

[butternut_squash_bisque]

LMAO! Is he a little light in his Nomex suit?
