Today, I noticed my TreeMap component for Flex got featured by Juice Analytics on their blog. They created an application that combines a treemap with comScore data and Alexa thumbnails to make an interesting little visualization of Internet traffic.
At a high level, the application shows what categories of websites are the most popular online (based on a comparison of unique visitors between August and November 2007). Digging deeper, one can discover other mysteries across the categories. For instance, you might notice that various Yahoo! properties are sprinkled throughout the treemap because, obviously, the company is a major Internet portal that covers a wide-variety of interests. Disclaimer: I work for Yahoo! and I’m not ashamed to point out cool stuff about my employer. By the way, did you see the Flex components we released yesterday? 
Anyway, I just thought I’d share. Thanks to Juice for linking my blog and the TreeMap project page so that others can use my “capable open-source Flex Treemap component”. It’s nice to hear that folks are developing with and enjoying my work. My favorite part is seeing the component live on the web and available for anyone to play with and explore!
