digg labs seems to have added yet another visualization technique of their digg data. stories arrange themselves around circles as users digg them. larger circles have more diggs.

in the meantime, I just discovered that the call for entries has closed for the digg API contest, which was seeking novel online applications & visualizations that show "effective display of data, usefulness, & creativity". looking forward to the results next week...
