A little vision of collective meaning

Thanks, as ever, to information aesthetics for this link to an on-line visualization of collective thinking.

The Human Brain Cloud describes itself as a ''massively multiplayer word association game'' that asks its visitors to enter words they immediately associate with provided words, and then maps the clusters of responses in a dynamic and visual way.

Another cool Internet trifle, perhaps. But a lovely metaphor for how we all construct meaning and patterns in the world through our interactions with others. It's Friday, after all, take a quick play break.
