Good morning Freebaser,

hope everyone is happy out there.

I played around with the excellent freebase API for a while and
surprise, surprise, something has manifested.

The goi browser is for many reasons declared as alpha - nevertheless
it seems to be stable enough to ask people to have a look. The browser
is written in Actionscript 3 based on Jeff Heer's wonderful flare
visualization toolkit  (http://flare.prefuse.org), which is also
declared as alpha but astonishing mature.

The goi browser project is not open source at the moment. Nevertheless
there is nothing particular special in the source beyond the demos
which come along with the flare package and the demos which can be
found in the flare assistance pool flap,
(http://goosebumps4all.net/34all/bb/forumdisplay.php?fid=28) If you
are looking for some Flex/AS3 libs for similar applications or any
kind of information visualization, I would highly recommend to give
flare a try.

Feedback of any kind highly appreciated

Cheers

martin
