[Goodie] Treemap representation [storage utility]

[?] tag is to make our beloved mods work a bit and find a better one, maybe [Goodie]?
The post actually isn't closely related to CintaNotes, but just some thoughts I wanted to share.
This evening I was trying an utility to represent the data onto an hard disk drive using a treemap. I didn't know very well this kind of representation before and I found it very fascinating. If you want to give a look the utility is called SpaceSniffer, it's a freeware and portable software for Windows from an italian programmer. I particularly found really nice the zooming function as a way to enter with a doubleclick one more step into a detailed view. To tell the truth I had some wild thoughts where this kind of data representation could be used in an application like CN. Imagine multiple notebooks, then doubleclick and zooming into a specific notebook and then zooming again to go to single note level, and there maybe double click again to go back to the list... or maybe a treemap to represent tags, as I said wild thoughts
Well, really no requests, I just wanted to share an experience and maybe Alex or other people may find it inspiring for CN or other totally different projects of their own life.
