I've been fiddling around with a realtime(ish) geo visualization of github updates. Fans of the movie WarGames might enjoy the theme:

http://streams.robscanlon.com/github

Its a work in progress!

I love that you're using IRC as the messaging protocol.

Way more fun than redis. I actually like to sit in the channel and watch the data fly by (its color coded so its actually quite pretty). /connect irc.robscanlon.com /join #github or /join #wikipedia. You can create your own channel and stream your own data as well (it'll automatically create a url on my site for you with that wargame theme). I'm working on other themes that you can choose from.

And please don't bug the web-* bots that are hanging out in the rooms... they are the actual web servers and are a bit busy at the moment ;-)

Maybe a button that adds some ominous music :)

Your US labels are displayed on the map of Australia and vice-versa unless I'm misreading it.

Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to finish getting this completely working properly in FF. I assume that's the browser you were using (sorry about that).

Oh, no problem. It's a great web app. I just thought you probably accidentally reversed a couple of lines of code and would want to know about it. And, yes, I was using FF 24.

This is a cool take on the data!
