Indeed! Nicely timed with my musicplasma post above. Similar concepts with different but cool features. I like the springy-ness of flickrgraph (though it eventually kills FireFox for me).

I got from a random user to mathowie in just one (random) click. What are the odds?

This is funny watchout, this application can be a really harsh on your CPU, refrain from opening if you're with a weak machine. I'd never been to the home page before, first played with it from mathowie's page.

Apparently if you only have inward links, it doesn't work. Only your links to other people count. Also it ignores groups, which would make the world a lot smaller.

I guess it is neat, but I clicked around in this earlier this week and I just don't get what the use is.

Same thing with me wolfdog. Thought it was kind of funny.

Thanks, Jonah, I thought I was the only one to be unimpressed by this. I love Flickr but I don't see that this adds anything to the experience.
