This is almost the same as Visual Thesaurus. I guess it's the source for inspiration.
Ever since I first saw Visual Thesaurus, I have longing for an mindmap-esque app built on this visualization technique. Thinkmap, the developers of VT, lets you use their vizualisation engine - starting from $500.

Could you please post urls? Or hide them less?
