I appreciate the effort to collect the data, but I think the rotating globe is an idea that looks cool, but makes the visualization harder to use. If I click on us-east-1, there's a 229ms line to...somewhere that I can't see. Meanwhile, I can't see the latency between us-east-1 and us-east-2.

Perhaps if you selected a datacenter, and it switched to a 2-d projection with that datacenter at the center of the map, it would be better?

Or perhaps augment the visualization with a table?

Idea: select a data center by default (i.e. us-east-1) to make it more clear.

Bonus: select the nearest data center based on the user’s IP :)
