Hey guys, sorry if this is a bit offtopic, but it does relate to a Flex application, and I figured with all the help I give in the Flex and AS3 forums here every day, I could share something of my own for once. Haha. ;)
My entry to Digg's API contest (http://digg.com/contest) was selected as one of the top ten finalists. It's called WordWeb (http://diggcontest.com/wordweb/), and it displays a dynamic graph of keywords and stories from Digg.com. Connections are formed between popular keywords and you can explore the relationships by clicking on them. It's built with Flex 2, and I used a modified version of Mark Shepherd's SpringGraph component (http://mark-shepherd.com/blog/springgraph-flex-component/) with some custom renderers.
Here's a detailed blog post I made about WordWeb (http://www.zeuslabs.us/2007/05/11/wordweb-visualization-graphs-keywords-from-digg-api/), and I released the source code (http://www.zeuslabs.us/projects/digg/srcview/index.html) too.
If you think it's cool, and you have a Digg account, please go vote for it (http://digg.com/contest). I appreciate your support!
