Info Visualizations

A bunch of cool tools for doing visualizations of net stuff that I ripped out of Christina Wodtke’s presentation on the importance of Information Architecture:

Grokker, a visual web data-mining thing involving zooming and paying money to use it; Newsmap (based on the treemap technique, applied to Google news--I like this one!); Kartoo, a visual meta search engine (I tried "MOO" and got a lot of bovine stuff; I'm not sure I immediately get the display's info intent).
