The Twitter team has just opened a new area of the site called Explore, a set of visualization tools people can use to interact with Twitter off the site itself.
Their first release is Twitter Blocks, an abstract way to discover new people on your Twitter block by navigating through an animated three dimensional visualization of who follows whom.
Developed by Ryan Alexander and Tom Carden from Stamen Design in San Francisco, using the new interactive features of Papervision3D.

I see it was jsut released on Explore, but it doesn’t do anything at all. How do I load any user into it? And the creator won’t allow you to contact him through twitter if he’s never met you in the flesh! Unbelievable!
