Someone, perhaps here or perhaps elsewhere, provided a link to a basically useless but incredibly interesting Java interface for Google where each link was kind of floating in midair, and when you clicked on one it zoomed in and became the center and all its links were hovering around it.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about and have this link?

Not Google, but there is a meta search engine called Kartoo with a Java interface. Once you figure out how it works with the +/- features, it gives some very interesting results. Google just gives a list of links, with Kartoo you see how interwoven they are (along the lines of Tony Buzan's 'mind maps'.

Is this what you are looking for? link: http://www.kartoo.com

I don't think this is it...but it's still pretty cool! :D http://www.touchgraph.com/TGGoogleBrowser.html

Both are cool, but not the one I was looking for.

It looked kind of like index cards waving around on stalks that vanished into the distance. Even when you aren't doing anything they still kind of wave around, like flowers in a breeze.
