This user interface was pointed out to me by some colleagues and it is quite
amazing IMO.  Even though it is about baby names and their usage and ranking
over time - I think it has some interesting aspects that might possibly be
applied to the concept relating visualization.

 

Just follow the link, let it load then start typing your name or any other
name - as you type you'll see other similar names - for example with my
name, you'll see things that start with L, then LA and so on.  This is
traced through time also so you can see the usage of a name through time and
then see its ranking (how popular it was) by just mousing over somewhere on
the timeline.
