Written in ~6 hours today for our internal company hack day.
Curious if people find it useful (or what might improve its utility).
I plan on letting people share their activity counts anonymously to build a scrolling graph of Internet activity--my main goals were to see when I'd last taken an Internet vacation and to compare my Internet habits to those of others.
FYI, it threw an initial error after authenticating with FB, but then loaded upon reload. What's it based on? All public posts, comments, and likes, but not private messages?
By the way, I think I met you at GET; it was nice talking to you. Was that Zeo charting website you showed me public or some private thing you had built? Would be interested in playing around with it!
It would be cool to see this site's output as some kind of chart too.
Thanks! I just think the long list of dates and vacation times that are outputted could be grokked much easier in a single bar chart of some sort, with time on the X, and some kind of filled in green for when active. I'm just curious when and how fast my FB usage accelerated.
Thanks again for the link; crossfilter is really cool.
Oh, and to answer your question about what it's based on--you're basically correct; it's based on foursquare checkins, Twitter tweets, Facebook posts & comments, and Instagram uploads. :)
Ah, because it spreads them out for you over time... Hadn't thought of that. The Twitter API does return which app a tweet was posted from, so it would be very simple to rig up a checkbox to filter out tweets from Buffer or Hootsuite if a user wants to. :)

We did meet at GET if you know about the Zeo charting stuff, that's here:

I hope to add charts to vacat.io too, any idea what you'd want to see graphed?
EDIT: You've been alerted to an error.
Thanks again for the link; crossfilter is really cool.
Now a good feature would be to lock us out of our account for that many days :)
Need a vacation...
Great idea though!
