Discovered and unleashed this on #joiito and, in a few time, the image shows the result.PieSpy in action
Very intersting.
It's a bot that listens to an irc channel, tracking social networks as they born and grow, and snapshots them creating images like the one shown here.
...so you can even mount them on a movie if you like. Cool ;)

This can build up in more than a few useful apps, where you can, for example, monitor (and then eventually correct, or speed up decision making upon) the flow of a conversation or roundtable or whatsoever. This could also be useful to study what happens once you see patterns in the mess of traces you and others leave?.
