The Lijit Explorer (or "bubble browser" as our team affectionately calls it) is an interactive, visual representation of a blog's network. (Notice that we didn't say a "Lijit user's" network, because you can, in fact, explore your way to blogs that aren't associated with a Lijit user.)

The display shows up to fifteen bubbles in each section (even if there are more), with the sections being defined as the following:

• Orange = "fans of" (blogs that link to the blog in the center of the display)
• Green = "friends" (blogs that link to the blog in the center of the display, to which the blog in the center also links back)
• Blue = "follows" (blogs to which the blog in the center of the display links)

Clicking on a blog from any section will bring it to the center and display its network. And beneath the blog in the center, you'll see an information box containing its URL and any other content it (or its owner) might offer.

The Lijit Explorer is a strangely entertaining way to discover the intricately entwined world of blogs. Enjoy bubble browsing!
