PUBLIC MARKS with tags popular & visualization

trendalicious is a real-time ranking of the 100 most popular web pages as reflected by del.icio.us, digg, and reddit. URLs posted to those sites are collected and ranked by their total number of votes or links.

This is an adaptation of In The News, a project that heat-mapped Google News mind-share from Spring 2004 through Summer 2005. I have stopped collecting information from Google News, and started looking at the Del.icio.us Popular list of highly-linked websites. (why?) The stripes you see at top are a near-realtime cumulative view of popular sites posted to the Del.icio.us social bookmarking service (if you don't see green and red stripes, you need Flash), organized by date and popularity.
