If I understand Frank's question, what he is looking for is software that 
does this (lifted from the above page):

"Visualize your Web site in 3D--Site Manager offers a unique and powerful 
visualization tool in the Link View. Here, you can see the entire hyperlink 
structure of your Web site in a three-dimensional sphere. You can easily 
rotate the sphere's structure and "zoom in" on a point of interest to more 
closely examine a specific document's link hierarchy and still see how this 
"close-up" fits into the entire Web site. The Link View can also animate the 
statistics from your access logs so you can see a graphical representation of 
visitors' paths through a site. "

BUT, rather than do that looking at one's own site, the idea is to do that 
while looking at someone else's site from afar.  Frank, do speak up if I've 
misunderstod.  Sounds to me as though one would have to have a spider 
function of some sort built into the browser.  If such a critter exists, I'd 
also like to know about it.
