Each color corresponds to a different page. Viégas Martin Wattenberg and Kate Hollenbach The Petabyte Age: Sensors everywhere… We think of our current age as one of intellectual remixing and mashups but maybe it’s always been that way. You can only do that kind of analysis when you have the full spectrum of data. Wired: Is that why on Many Eyes you have visualizations of Wikipedia using simple word trees and tag clouds?Wattenberg: Wikipedia also has this idea of completeness.
