At Transparency International, an international NGO fighting corruption (www.transparency.org), we are always wondering how to best visualise corruption, and, as a positive counter-concept, transparency. At least the latter seems to be some sort of a buzz word currently, with the new US administration's promises. I'll keep following your blog, maybe I it'll give me some ideas.

If so, then it makes all sorts of "built purely in the browser" demos possible?

If so, then it makes all sorts of “built purely in the browser” demos possible?

In most cases, though, I *do* want to see the content details - just not necessarily the whole body of the article. This was a pretty quick post - written, appropriately, in the waiting area at Heathrow. I'll be writing some more detailed posts and creating some more visualizations very soon. Hi Paul,

This might help with visualisations (as well as the suggested tag browser).
