Best New Mashups: Vizualization Mashups Using Twitter, Twilio and Klout
With data being both more plentiful and accessible than ever, tools that help users quickly make sense of it become increasingly valuable. As expected, much of the data being used comes from social sites. We come across mashups that access this data and provide interesting ways of looking at it from influence circles, tweet impacts and search results.
Processing.js 1.3.6 released! Processing.js 1.3.6 is a maintenance release for 1.3.5. We've fixed a 3D mode regression, where any non-square sketch would be stretched. Head over to the blog post on this release to see the full list of what has been updated... right after you head over to the download section to grab your copy of Processing.js! About Processing.js
Processing.js
Processing.org
Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to create images, animations, and interactions. Initially developed to serve as a software sketchbook and to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context, Processing also has evolved into a tool for generating finished professional work. Today, there are tens of thousands of students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists who use Processing for learning, prototyping, and production. To contribute to the development, please visit Processing on Google Code to read instructions for downloading the code , building from the source , reporting and tracking bugs , and creating libraries and tools .
Ars Technica Guide to Virtualization: Part I
In 2003, Intel announced that it was working on a technology called "Vanderpool" that was aimed at providing hardware-level support for something called "virtualization." With that announcement, the decades-old concept of virtualization had officially arrived on the technology press radar. In spite of its long history in computing, however, as a new buzzword, "virtualization" at first smelled ominously similar to terms like "trusted computing" and "convergence."In the previous installment of the Virtualization Guide, I talked in general ways about the exculsive hardware access privileges that the OS reserves for itself. Now it's time to nuance that picture a bit, so you can see exactly how the OS retains the upper hand over applications and users. This brief installment sets the stage for Part III, which will talk in some detail about Intel VT. A microprocessor does more than just blindly run whatever instructions are loaded into its front end, without regard for where those instructions came from.

The Opte Project
This project was created to make a visual representation of a space that is very much one-dimensional, a metaphysical universe. The data represented and collected here serves a multitude of purposes: Modeling the Internet, analyzing wasted IP space, IP space distribution, detecting the result of natural disasters, weather, war, and esthetics/art. This project is free and represents a lot of donated time, please enjoy. The Opte Project was my first gift to the world and in the sleepless nights developing the software that traced all the routes of the Internet, I never thought it would touch so many people. Today the image has been used free of charge across the globe and is part of the permanent collection at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Boston Museum of Science. It has been used in countless books, media, and even movies.

The Best Tools for Visualization
Visualization is a technique to graphically represent sets of data. When data is large or abstract, visualization can help make the data easier to read or understand. There are visualization tools for search, music, networks, online communities, and almost anything else you can think of. Whether you want a desktop application or a web-based tool, there are many specific tools are available on the web that let you visualize all kinds of data.
