The Facebook Globe

Facebook is now the world’s number one social network, and being number one sure looks pretty. A group of engineers at Facebook have put together Project Palantir, an animated globe showing all the interactions on the social network in real time. Imagine the view from space as 120 million people throw supersonic flaming sheep at each other across the curve of the Earth.

Palantir isn’t live yet, but Facebook is thinking about rolling it out. Which spark are you?

  1. Does Facebook realize that Palantir is part of Lord of the Rings? I’m assuming that they have permission to use the word since Tolkien’s estate holders are rather fond of filing lawsuits against people who misuse or use without permission, the material in his novels.
