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.

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.

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.

"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."

I just learned that the other day by reading "Brain Rules."

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
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.

Thought he was going to munch it, clearly, he's not human.

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
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.

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.

What happened to cash burn rate? Or did that go out of style in '01? I must be behind the times, lol

Scary thing is most of those datasets duplicate exactly what Twitter has since they require so much caching

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.

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

If you could live any place you wanted, where would it be? What would it look like? Here are pics of the type of country settings where I'd love to live...
Since we're in the realm of fantasy anyway, is it a cop out to say id like to live in the TARDIS? So I could visit any place at all on a whim.
