LastGraphing it away
At the first meeting of Every Single One of Us yesterday, a movement intended to ‘to facilitate and accelerate commercially viable and mutually beneficial communication’, one of the presenters spoke about how it is important to know how we relate to our information.
As an example, Dominic Travers mentioned LastGraph, which takes your last.fm listening history and presents it in the form of a visually appealing yet content-rich graph. LastGraph is a project helmed by Andrew Godwin, a student at Oxford University, and what he’s done really sounds simple: use the last.fm API to transfer your profile data and then play around with it in what he calls ‘variously interesting (and often hilariously ineffeicient) ways’. Interesting, yes. Inefficient – I don’t think so myself. Go LastGraph!
