I Digg these games

10 seconds: Beautiful - simple and fast - my personal best - 6206

I especially like the swarm - it almost seems like news is coming in organically.

A special request to Rahul D and karan to check it out, if they already haven't - that is.

I realy like this concept for 3 reasons:
1. It is a beautifully simple concept.
2. Has the potential to be scaled for various purposes.
3. the design student is from my pal's univ.

Nuff said
