considering lsystem

• we should experiment in this direction
• to simulate the living in the virtual world
• seems like a nice library https://github.com/jeromeetienne/lsystem-js
• maybe just start with something simple, like existing lsystem formula ?
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-system pick one

considering mass-spring system

• if we consider url as node/mass, and tags as springs, it should be possible to display the info as a mass-spring system
• PRO: it is dynamic and flexible
• PRO: it can visualize many data graphs
• CON: not life like

d3js as inspiration
