Comment. Eigenfactor is an OA measurement of research impact. For background, see our past posts on it. Because Eigenfactor data are OA, they are free for mashing up or analysis by other projects as well. It's easy to be inspired by the beauty and intelligibility of these images. But we should also be inspired by their suggestion of what can be done with open data.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
