thx to Marcus, I finally rediscovered the SimCity-esque traffic-visualizer I mentioned some days ago. VisitorVille by World Market Watch is a Windows desktop-application building game-like graphic representations of webserver log-files. pages are represented as buildings, visitors referring from search-engines arrive in Google- or AOL-busses and carry a passport disclosing details like javascript- & flash-support and screen-resolution.

with monthly fees of USD 89,- for sites with up to 5.000 unique daily visitors, VisitorVille’s eyecandy seems quite costly, especially since the user-interface looks a bit outdated (think Windows 2000). moreover, the downloadable demo is restricted to a random dataset, which makes evaluation difficult. still I think the underlying idea of visualizing website-traffic in a metropolitan environment is original - so if you’re into traffic-analysis, keep an eye on a potential update to VisitorVille.
