Akamai launched a new service that allow anyone to check the web behaviour at any given moment. With great graphics, one can see the performance of the Net on a given moment, and check for usage indices for the last 24 hours. Here are the 6 graphics delivered:

• Real-Time Web Monitor
• Network Performance Comparison
• Visualize the Akamai network
• Net Usage Index: Retail
• Net Usage Index: News
• Net Usage Index: Music

I know the service is really new, so it doesn't have data from the past. But, with more data, I think this could became a great tool to watch for trends, identify virus attacks and for better bandwidth management. Over all, it's a great job.
