In the interests of code diversity, I'm currently trying to add JSON 
(and thereby Hockeypuck) parsing compatibility to 
https://github.com/philpennock/sks_spider . Otherwise, it already 
produces a clickable list of keyservers (not as pretty as your bubble 
graph though!).

To be really useful to end users, we should collect not just the 
existence and connectedness of keyservers, but also their reliability, 
responsiveness etc. The distinction between "fit for purpose" and "fit 
for use" is vital.
