This seems really valuable. I wonder how those blue areas correlate with where people look? If, when we're trying to read content, we sub-consciously filter out distractions such as links etc then perhaps a link placed in one of the blue areas is more likely to get attention than those in the red areas that we're used to filtering out? Interesting stuff. Cheers, Gregor Great work Tim.

Really all I did was put in a list of 100 URLs in and make a pretty Picasso-esque picture from the results this has been one of the least worked on posts in ages :) The time comes from playing around with things like this, rather then sorting out the membership site so people can pay for even more interesting stuff :D
