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.
