@Web analytics:
Not sure if i got your question right, but the tag is given by the source. All entries are aggregated from different sources like Twitter, Wiki, Blogs, Bug Reporting etc. therefore the color depends on the source.

The names floating above are the names of the authors of the posts.

@Peter:
I thought about using bigger archived posts at the bottom. I decided to show the title / date by hovering over the item and then revealing all the details by clicking on it. I’d like to let the width adapt to the availyble space and keep all items of one by on the same line. This way the user could tell the density of posts of a day just by looking at the relative thickess of the items themselves. In the visualization all items have the same size, so this could be misleading. Imagine a variation in thickness of the items from line to line and the fingerprint would be even more obvious.

What a beautiful concept! I love the sea metaphor, I can already see how the items sink down to the ground. And with these names floating in the sky it’s as if they sent some oxygen down to their news items, the way they’re hooked up and all.
But why do you use these tiny rectangles at the bottom? Couldn’t these be as wide as the title bar in the original items? Maybe they could even contain the first line of the first paragraph. This would of course take slightly more space, but hey, the stack could be _meters_ deep …
Oh, and I truly like this color scheme!
