A nice visual exploration of 1,656 conversations: 7+ million words, 850 hours.

"By the end of these conversations, several participants seemed to realize that they may never see their conversation partner again, and had to say their bittersweet goodbyes."

Thanks for sharing this @stefan, it was really inspiring, and the story at the end about the injured kid had me in tears (of joy; spoilers, kid was OK). I really liked the interactive layout too, very cool.
