Facebook: Real-time visualization of global social interactions

November 24, 2008 by UltraFuture 

Project Palantir is a real-time visualization of global interactions between Facebook users. Created in Java using the Open Source Ajax framework, the visualization offers a beautiful perspective of how and where, and at what scale, Facebook serves as a platform for global connectivity.

Project Palantir was created by Jack Lindamood at the last Hackathon Project.

    Facebook and Ultrafuture are indeed making the big blue marble much smaller.
