Here's a fun, high-tech art installation from MIT that analyzes online references to your name or handle and builds a visual representation of how you appear online. I ran it twice: Once for Matt Butcher and once for TechnoSophos.

Matt Butcher is a fairly common name, and as the exhibit builds the graph, it displays the text of each source. I learned a lot about hockey in those few minutes.

Thanks to sirkitree for bringing my attention to this fun app.
