PacketGarden – use your web surfing to grow your own virtual world

PacketGarden is a cool application (still in beta) that grows your own virtual world based on your internet activity. PacketGarden uses information about your internet use to generate this private world by taking note of the servers you visit and their geographic location, and how you interact with these sites. For example, uploads generate hills and downloads generate valleys, with relative locations determined by IP address locations. The more information it gathers, the more complex the virtual landscape becomes. I’ve downloaded it, and am going to give it try and hopefully post some screenshots as my own private virtual world unfolds.

I should definintely point out that is a beta, with a number of known bugs so you should definitely read the release notes before installing. For example, PacketGarden is not currently working on some AMD Athlon and all AMD64 Windows maching or Intel Macs.
