This is swarm

5.3.07

Vincent Maher seems to have a new addiction (not smoking, that's an old one) and its name is Swarm. The MG swarm is a real time representation of what the viewers of mg.photos are looking at.

Now at first glance to those who aren't really sure of the significance of this swarm it could seem like a bunch of pretty circles rolling around a black page. It's not. It is an incredible way to view the happenings of the site without staring at blank stats and words and numbers.

So without further ado:



There a other swarms out there I know, but this one is local and local is lekker. Not only is this swarm lekker cause it's local, but because it flies around the page like a manically depressed dope smoker on crack-cocaine. The activity/speed of the swarm circles seems to be dependent on the amount of activity surrounding the image or set of photos (I stand to be corrected here, Vince you will probably be the one to correct me!!).

Anyways, whether I am wrong or right about the MG Swarm, I think it rocks and in fact, it rocks my little socks off!
