The last hour's chatterbox is graphed to clump around who was talking to whom. Sort of. This doesn't take into account message content so if you say someone's name, that doesn't hint that you are talking to them. You get points by speaking recently and within proximity to when someone else spoke.

Incidentally, I'm bringing these links up in PMD because while the code is visible I'm not presenting complete packages so people can run this stuff on their own. In that sense its more just an introduction to another view to perlmonks.

Appended: I added the PL/R code so people could see that too. The full source code for everything is at http://grenekatz.org/downloads/chatterbox//sql/perlmonks.sql.
