The frontend is written in d3 and the backend is good old fashioned Django on Postgres.

#4Am I missing something- I like that the blogs are in circles- kind of fun but does it help me find blogs I wouldn't find otherwise?

#6This reminds me of Altavista search back in 1999 (it would string together words that were connected, creating a web - exciting stuff back then).
Except I can't figure out how Gravity would be useful at all. I can't, for example expand the "tech" section.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I'm the lead designer on this project. Gravity probably won't replace Google Reader just yet. Out goal was to create a fun experience, show off a little bit of our network, and listen to feedback – feedback that we might use to drive the design and features of potential future Disqus products.
