maxkiesler.com— In the last year I've seen many amazing new content visualization models, however, Digg will be launching something truly amazing in July.

I'm not so sure about those data visualization tools.. "Digg Incoming" seems like a live version of Cloud View. If the current Cloud View was able to dynamically update the font size based on the story's relative popularity, you would have the same information (plus you could see the names of the stories better, AND if your into the special effects, it would still look cool to see all of the stories "growing"). I dunno... maybe it's for people who like to watch their own submitted stories and now they don't have to obsessively hit the refresh button.And "Digg Spy on Crack" just looks confusing to me. Would you really watch that for any reason other than to chuckle when you see a "fat digger" scurry around dugging stories? (from the digg v3 launch vid)Can someone tell me how useful these new visualizations will be? Do you see yourself using these tools beyond the enjoyment of just watching a live updating bar graph? Because, otherwise, I seem to be missing the point.
Did they ever come up with a "real" name for this since they said they were sure about using DSOC. I thought "Swarm" was a cool one for something like this.

I really don't understand. The visualization features where said to be in "January" not in this (Digg 3.0) release.
