WikiLoopr - another visualization of the wikipedia paths based on the first link in an article where the endpoint is a loop. probably related to philosophy because everything in wikipedia winds up at philosophy. (from this, it bounces between Agency (philosophy) and philosophy forever)

Visualizing Wikipedia Update Stream With Redis Pub/Sub and Node.js
Fascinating story about the volume of edits happening on Wikipedia and how using Redis Pub/Sub and node.js helped building some visualization tools—wikistream and wikipulse—for the activity stream:
For both of these apps I needed to log into the wikimedia IRC server, listen on ~30 different channels, push all the updates through some code that helped visualize the data in some way, and then get this data out to the browser. I had heard good things about node for high concurrency network programming from several people. I ran across a node library called socket.io that reported to make it easy to stream updates from the server to the client, in a browser independent way, using a variety of transport protocols. Instinctively it felt like the pub/sub model would also be handy for connecting up the IRC updates with the webapp. I had been wanting to play around with the pub/sub features in redis for some time, and since there is a nice redis library for node I decided to give it a try.

In this visualization, a ‘sun’ in generated for each article. Each ray represents an out-going link. The length of each link shows the semantic relevance between those two linked articles based on ‘Wikipedia Miner‘ measures.
In the middle, in the category view tab, Wikistalker illustrates how links are related to the main entry based on how many categories they have in common. The category view mesh shows which links are ontologically related versus rays that show semantic relevance.
