Hello Laconica Dev,
I recently came across http://www.twitscoop.com/ and was totally
mesmerised by it. This got me thinking ... does Laconica have or has
plans for an analytics extension.. Has anyone done something on this?
The minimal kind of analysis, I am thinking is to be able to answer,
"What are the current trends?" I am aware of http://identi.ca/tags
but trends may not have hashtags and may need analysis of a
configurable amount of time or people may want to compare today's
trends with yesterday's.
I am looking for ideas on:
1. What other analytical things can be useful?
2. Laconica API recommendations on whether to opt for Native or
Twitter-like while trying to develop something like this. Why?
3. References to third-party software like Pentaho or Talend, etc.
that may be useful in aggregating and presenting such information.
Thanks and regards,
Chintan.
I also just received a newsletter from Dopplr, saying:
While creating the Personal Annual Report 2008 we uncovered some
lovely patterns and information that make building Dopplr worthwhile.
For instance we found over 250,000 possible coincidences between
fellow travellers last year. That's a quarter of a million potential
dinners we could have made possible!

In an annual report, it mentioned:
Everyone on Dopplr travelled a total of 1331.4 million km or 8.9 AU in
2008: the approximate distance to Saturn from the Earth as of January
2009.

Those are pretty cool things to say! I was thinking about adding such
analytics to Laconica. What kind of such things would be useful from
Laconica's perspective?
Thanks,
Chintan.
