What tools do you use? What do you like about them, and (other than their price) where could they be improved? I'm putting together everything I've got so far in order to come up with a few key areas we can focus on for the visualization. I'll send it out when it's ready (sometime next week most likely) for feedback. Right now it looks like the big areas are comparing historic traffic data (or various types) with current traffic in order to more easily spot changes. -Dan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
