I want to see a version of RowFeeder that supports Facebook Search /cc @dacort :-)
Jesse, they're working on it, from what I've read, with public statuses. Edit: Actually, it's in the latest release. ;) - Jimminy, CoG of FF
Mr. Gunn
How can I make a graph that looks like this, "tweet density" style, showing time intervals? I have a static data set, so it doesn't need to be fancy.

My data is in csv format (time started, time finished, date) and I'm most familiar with Excel, but sample R code would be OK too. I'd prefer something I can do locally, without installing PHP and a bunch of scripts or graphics libraries. - Mr. Gunn
What I like about the above visualization is that it simplifies data like a histogram but shows trends over time, too. - Mr. Gunn
Something similar could be done in Excel by splicing together a bar chart from each day. - Mike Chelen
I asked @tweetstats about it and he told me it's just Gantt chart, so I'm whacking something together as we speak. - Mr. Gunn
Yup, @TweetStats guy here. You can see the template I used on the bottom left of this page - http://www.fusioncharts.com/free... - I just modified the height/opacity of the bars relative to the frequency of tweets on each day/hour. - Damon Cortesi
XML source of the chart is available here - http://tweetstats.com/cache... (replace dacort with your own screen name to see yours) - Damon Cortesi
Thanks bunches! - Mr. Gunn
One day I will be able to proudly say that I had actually met Damon when he was still a security guy :) - Deepak Singh
Hmm...having trouble representing more than one time series in a given day. Probably going to mess with this more later. - Mr. Gunn
Wow, thanks, Neil. I'm definitely going to steal this. - Mr. Gunn

"As platforms pop up everywhere, the API, or application programming interface, is the bridge linking data on Salesforce.com to an app built in Google’s AppEngine — or it’s the link between Twitter and your ability to tweet using TweetDeck. No matter what type of business is providing an open API, Sonoa Systems, a company that hosts web services, has decided startups and platform providers need a good way to measure it. So it’s created Apigee, a service that sits between the two linked web apps and manages the connection while aggregating data about the use of that API." - LANjackal from Bookmarklet

Hah, and me in the background. - Damon Cortesi
Which one are you, Damon? - Rochelle
To the left of Tad - Damon Cortesi
Why does everyone have laptops? Are you guys super geeky or something? - Sparky, lurking
Sparky, something like that. - Rochelle
Let it be known that I am the only person here with a pink laptop. - Rochelle
Ack! I double chin alert! And technically I don't have a laptop... it's a tiny netbook. :) - Lindsay
I thought it was Tom? - Outsanity
You guys look great! - joey
jealous! - Vicarbott
flash photos are terrible for double chin enhancement. - Joe The Sausage
Hey Damon, never actually got a chance to meet you. Maybe today... - The original Kevin

You can only pay full attention to someone lecturing for 9-10 minutes, on average. School should be a series of Ignite lectures ;) #gnomedex
I just learned that the other day by reading "Brain Rules." - Teresa Valdez Klein
It should be a series of videos by experts in the fields, lasting anywhere from 6-15 minutes (depending on the age of the kids). All of them should have laptops capable of viewing those videos... - Lindsay
And it's 7 minutes for digital, from what I've read. So watching the same lecturer on TV or YouTube, you have even less attention to give. - Andru Edwards
Teresa Valdez Klein
Laughed so hard at this presentation I accidentally banged my nose. Ow! #gnomedex

I want to do that on my exercise balls. - Anika
How many tries (and broken bones) did that take? - Johnny
Homygorsh - Martha
I just don't know how you figure out you can do that. - caj needs a haircut
I'm sure if I tried it I would be in traction right now. - The original Kevin

I expect this move to be all the rage in Rhythmic Gymnastics in the next Olympics. - Jeanine W.
Very impressive :0 - Adval
boy, if you messed that up it could really put a damper on your day. Some doof needs to try it and put up their fail-flip on youtube. Absolutely amazing, though. - Rick Cogley
totally awesome!!! wow! how fun! - Susan Beebe
Was waiting for the neck snapping moment....was pleasantly surprised - Toby Graham
If I taught Physics, I'd show this to my students for open discussion - Bwana ☠
wtf :)) - Batu
Thought he was going to munch it, clearly, he's not human. - Will Higgins™
How many times did he try that until he got it right? - Louis Gray
Not sure how many - but my guess would be that this guy is a competitive gymnast (based on the body and the setting) - things like this often come easy (when you have trained for a dozen years to develop muscle, balance and body awareness), - Brian Sullivan
holy wow - Mattb4rd
easy? If you're Jesus maybe. - Mattb4rd
I would love to see the out takes on this - Josh Haley
I really would like to try it - delbo
Otherwise known as the orthopedist's full employment act. - Tom Landini

bah to science, +many for physical fitness, :O - chaz2b
hogeeee! fugeee! fugaaa! - Ken Okabe
WOW! Even I am impressed. - Shawn Whitmire
I can't get enough of this. Of course it should carry the "don't try this at home disclaimer". I'm sure they could run a whole episode of Amerca's Funniest Home Videos of people trying to do this. - Mark Krynsky
Awesome ! - DAL
wow - orionstarr

i've no clue which one's better - sherman williams or benjamin moore, but why didn't an app like this come out sooner? what's up with dutch boy paints being behind the times though? - Cee Bee
I wonder how correct they can get colors without color correction. - jnman
oh man this is nuts. i need this app! - Carlos Ayala
LOL That's crazy. I've been saying I need a Pantone app like this, but paint...oh, I'd build all kinds of stuff just to use this. - Anika

New Silicon Valley status symbol: at #140tc one guy said "I have 800 million rows in my data set." More here:
*hide* stupid valley egos. show me some code and maybe I'll pay attention. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Damon Cortesi @dacort says he has 300 million rows in his. He runs http://www.tweetstats.com - Robert Scoble
Brian: Damon lives in Seattle. There are lots of people who are building interesting data sets here. - Robert Scoble
lol....does size really matter? or do most men just never move beyond that? - guruvan (Rob Nelson) from PeopleBrowsr
Oh, yeah? I have 8 million *columns* in *my* dataset. Beat that! - Sean Gallagher
My data set isn't really mine. It belongs to my users. - Bruce Lewis
Nevermind we can't factually verify. :-D - barce
What happened to cash burn rate? Or did that go out of style in '01? I must be behind the times, lol - LANjackal
Scary thing is most of those datasets duplicate exactly what Twitter has since they require so much caching - Jesse Stay
Now # of rows is the new measurement of e-genitalia? - Holger Eilhard
Reminds of Steve Balmer in 'Triumph of the Nerds' talking about IBM when they were writing OS/2. "You only get paid by 1000 lines of code" said IBM. KLOCs! "I hated KLOCs" said Balmer. - Andrew Leyden
Data = $$$$$$$$ - Susan Beebe
Susan, is it money if it's just the same data Twitter has in their DB though? IMO, Data costs money. Relationships and people = $$$$$$ - Jesse Stay
Data != $$$ ... Data Analysis = $$$ - andy brudtkuhl
Data, correction WELL MANAGED DATA = $$$$$$$$$. Twitter is only half way there (customer base); now they need to go back and innovate with core feature improvements; plus, scale the app /dc - kill the fail whale problems - Susan Beebe
data == 1:1 relationship, user == 1:many relationship - which is worth more? - Jesse Stay
And even more powerful is the social graph relationship between users. relationship == 1:many:many relationship - Jesse Stay
