Hat tip to Steve for this link to the Technorati blog about the spiffed up charts.  I’ve put a couple charts below to show you the easy blogging of them … there is a simple "Blog this chart" below the chart that lets you copy and paste the code for it.  Unfortunately the code doesn’t allow you to show anything more than the default 30 days on your blog … if you click the links you can expand and contract to search to as little as 7 days to as many as 360.

Examples:

Posts that contain Qumana per day for the last 30 days.

Get your own chart!

Posts that contain "tris Hussey" per day for the last 30 days.

Get your own chart!

Now the big question … so what? Yeah exactly.  I can’t see too many day-to-day uses for this.  You could illustrate the explosion of an issue on the scene.  I guess you could ad it to your side bar as a kind of on the fly ego-feed.  Not to diss Technorati, this is interesting, and being a data wonk I had to play with it.  Implications?  We’re getting more and more interested in looking at blog information.  While many might use it to track a celeb … companies should be using this to track their brand.  Visuals are always good and this chart makes for good visuals.
