Wikiswarm: visualize Wikipedia page histories
A visualization of people who’ve contributed to the Barack Obama page on Wikipedia. People who edit a lot drift toward the center. Best watched full screen in HD on Vimeo
Made using code_swarm and my new Wikipedia page history parser Wikiswarm (Ruby), which uses the Wikipedia API to convert page edit histories into the code_swarm activity log format. There’s also experimental support for visualizing individual users’ contributions.
For info on how to generate your own wikiswarms read on…
RickrollDB: never get rickroll'd again
Have you ever clicked what appears to be an awesome link and received a rendition of Rick Astley’s hit single, “Never Gonna Give You Up” instead? You, sir, have been rickrolled.
Don’t know what I’m talking about? Click here:
Presenting the #1 weapon in the war on rickrolls: the Rickroll Database
- install Firefox and the AdBlock Plus extension, which blocks ads, but not rickrolls
- subscribe to the Rickroll blacklist
- no more rickrolls for you my friend
There’s also simple user vetting of the roll-itude of blacklisted URLs; confirm or dispute entries for mad props & fame
