It is really impressive how fast NPM grows, last year in July I created two network graphs to visualize NPM dependencies. There were about 35000 packages a year and 2 months ago, that number almost tripled. The top 3 packages (underscore, async, request) in terms of number of dependent packages kept their positions.

You find the graphs and some more info at the following URLs:

- http://exploringdata.github.io/vis/npm-packages-dependencies... (takes a while to load, use Chrome or another Webkit browser)

- http://exploringdata.github.io/vis/npm-top-packages-dependen... (includes only packages with at least 10 dependent packages)

- http://exploringdata.github.io/info/npm-packages-dependencie... (info post)
