blogosphere linkology

linkology.jpg
a networked data visualization of the most-linked-to 50 blogs & their interconnections. each arrow represents a hypertext link that was made sometime in the past days. those links can be considered as 'votes' in an endless global popularity poll. many blogs vote for each other: 'blogrolling'. some top-50 sites do not have any links from the others, usually because they are big in Japan, China, or Europe, regions still relatively new to the phenomenon.
correction: Ben Fry kindly pointed out a better & high resolution version at his website here.

Isn't it more likely that the Japanese, Chinese and European weblogs don't have links from the others due to the language barrier?
