I guess I'll go first. Here is my attempt at visualizing this data with D3.

Code Pen - This version only has about 10,000 lines of the JSON since Code Pen liked to crash with any more

Imgur - This is an image of the final result when run with a the full data-set on my server

Congratulations to William Kamovitch for being this week's Forum Contest winner! Your design was unique in its color palette and form. Both repetition in shape and the use of circles within a larger circle helped emphasize that the data being displayed was a collection of smaller parts contributing to a whole. This was further accentuated by the design's use of varying tones of color. Also, using the hover attribute to display overall word count showed great attention to detail. Great work!
