GraphJam for Life!!!
My friend Laurence bought my attention to an awesome little microblogging service that doesn’t use words. It’s called mycrocosm and allows the user to easily graph their lives.
My little example below charts my drinks percentage.
Updating your graphs is as easy as updating a twitter feed, as in you just chuck the correct tag into a text box and it counts the it as a hit and updates your chart. In fact you can even set it up to listen to your Twitter feed, then all you have to do to update your charts is send Mycrocosm a direct message.
It is this easy integration with Twitter that excites me, because it opens up a whole world of integration with hardware. Couple this service with an Arduino, a few sensors and a simple web server you could graph pretty much anything.
I’m off to clean myself up, I think I just had a geekgasm….
