Not the most graphically efficient demo I've ever seen, but neat.

Seems totally random or broken. Whatever is on screen is completely unrelated (IMHO) and clicking on one thing takes you to something random. What's it supposed to do?

Click "add a new Genre" repeatedly.

1. no cache?! what year is this?! 2010?! 2. keeps automatically refreshing/restarting the graph every time I switch the tabs in Chrome 19. 3. at my first refresh I think it loaded all the music styles at once.

Nice. Get working on your next one.

Paste this into your web inspector / firebug / whereever you do Javascript to automate it, it's quite interesting!

    window.setInterval(function() { $("#random").click(); }, 800);

How is this useful?

It shows how genres are related but if I click on two genres, it's a large grey ball of relations which shows exactly nothing except there are huge relationships between these genres.

Cool idea. Would like to read more about some of these genres, but can't get to the link quick enough before it fades away!

I keep getting 'Wood' and 'Poland', as well as occasional articles on wrestlers. When it works, it works well, though.

Takes to long to add rap music and country music. Could you add a feature to specify the Genre you want to add?

nice. how to force it to show electronica? I keep refreshing and all it comes is indie-something and rock. I got techno once, but when clicked it it showed some christian rock, gagaku, etc. UI is nice, but something is wrong with jumping around content

Can anyone tell if the duplicated nodes has any meaning at all? Or, is only a bug?
