Timepiece is an experimental data visualization that help you explore Filmforay's site content including, all of their film ideas, new members, comments and votes on each film idea. Presently there is five months worth to data explore, however, this will undoubtedly grow. As stated by LInden at Filmforay, "The visualization is done with Adobe Flash and pulls all recent data from the site, updated every 30 minutes. Currently it takes a pretty heavy toll on your CPU and loading does take some time, so older computers might have some trouble running it. And I'll admit the design wouldn't scale very well given a larger data set, but for the meager traffic filmforay has received so far it does just fine!" Time is one of the most challenging aspects to represent in data visualizations. Linden has created a very unique view of his site's content over time. Nice job.
