@Shishir: Feed scribs tend to rise and fall for no apparent reason. We have posted content from outside the 'Lab in the past. Remember Puneet? He now has his own blog. I've invited others to post guest contributions in the past as well.

I assume you still work for Oracle, so if this is your way of asking to contribute, drop me an email with your suggested content, and I will review it.

It came as no surprise to me that the feed scribs has plunged down to 455 [via Jake on twitter]. I might be wrong in my thinking but somehow I believe it has to with the diversity of the content.

A think-tank(that's what you guys call it) cannot only contain a very skewed set of opinions with a limited authority (which is the case here). There has to be a wider participation from people who would bring new ideas, to the platform and maintain the diversity of post and thereby uphold the reader's interest in them.

I understand that this is private to you people but what is the harm in at least having guest articles/post from other contributors.

Just a thought.

@Jim: The first one, heatmap, is one I like. It's very applicable to any kind of data. O'Reilly has one for books that I've seen. We talked about this for measuring internal data.

The second one is trippy. Cool stuff.

Though not related to enterprise, I really like these 2 sites for the clever visual way they represent data:

@David: Also my top enhancement. I thought that's what logging in would get me, but no dice. Probably soon though.

I ran TweetCloud too. I think "dude" and "lulz" were among the largest, just adding more reason to follow me for the scintillating content, lulz.

It's pretty neat, now can I have it just show people I am following please?

I also checked out Tweet Cloud, which makes a cloud based on works you use on twitter. Mine is below and I am a little worried that 'Need' is front and centre - says some thing about me?
