Ed -- Nice. To be clear, I would still appreciate a multi-column
look, because for me that is a much clearer visualization of the
site's activity than looking at any single edit-size-range. It's like
a sparkline: you can get both a sense of flow and a feel for the
texture in the dimension of significance.
In fact, for the larger edits it might make sense to include 40 chars
of text from the update on a second line.
Reverts could show up as a thin red line between two edits, extending
to the side with the word "rv", with the article title available on
mouseover.

Without changing the concept or algorithm much,
I'd like to see a
three column version, with the left-most column being for all edits --
with speed smoothed out over time (time delay 30 seconds, average it
out); the middle one being edits changing over 100 chars that aren't
immediately reverted (time-delayed 1 min?), and the left column being
edits changing over 1,000 chars that aren't quickly reverted
(time-delayed 2 minutes?), and aren't by bots or huggle.
I am trying out a slider that allows you to set an "edit size" limit,
which should achieve roughly the same thing without the need for
additional columns. I haven't done any checking for pages that are
immediately reverted though (yet).
When I have time next I want to highlight the bots differently, maybe
with a small robot icon (let me know if you know of one), and allow
them to be filtered. Also I want to add language filtering since
several people have asked for that. I'm not quite sure how to do the
right-to-left for (ar,fa, ur, and he) since this basically right
justifies things, and it's mixed in with other direction text. Ideas
welcome on that front.

PS. I'm having some issues keeping the service running. At the moment
I'm not sure if its a bug in my code or something lower level in
socket.io, express or node just yet...
