This reminds me of Altavista search back in 1999 (it would string together words that were connected, creating a web - exciting stuff back then).<p>Except I can't figure out how Gravity would be useful at all. I can't, for example expand the "tech" section.

This kinda reminds me Tom Groves' "Corkboard" idea (except these are topic bubbles, and Tom actually created floating topic "Post-its")<p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20040725085305/http://www.tomgroves.net/corkboard/" rel="nofollow">http://web.archive.org/web/20040725085305/http://www.tomgrov...</a>

What am I supposed to be doing with it? What am I supposed to be getting from it? Admiring some design work or absorbing useful information? The aesthetic is there, but the utility? Nonexistent. This isn't how you present this type of data to a consumer. It isn't consumption-friendly.

Some of the text in the smaller bubbles are illegible. Also, is it possible to prevent the collision of a few bubbles from causing everything on the screen to move?<p>Very impressive!

Am I missing something- I like that the blogs are in circles- kind of fun but does it help me find blogs I wouldn't find otherwise?

Looks like future versions will include an easter egg!

Too little information, too much cognitive overhead.

this looks cool, what's the technology behind it?
