mobile media metrics using google visualization | a new rezpondr plugin

of course i am as deflated as some others that rezpondr has taken so long to get to a decent release version but having only access to a coder part time due to money constraints and that he is working for another company now has made progress slow on both of our sides.

instead i have been working on adding value to the service with plugins and theme widgets that make sense to feed back to a parent sponsor so they can see the amount of live production is taking place. with the paid help of dave goodchild (@buddhamagnet) we have been working on some google visualizations that can read our rezpondr api combi class for details broken down over an events in time.

currently the api class supports combining a users services together on an authenticated users subdomain.   this therefore is a massive single feed of your posts to different services and we turn this data is a source for the graphs.   what this allows is for a user from any timezone at first glance of the graph (see http://48hrs.rezpondr.com at the bottom for a mockup) of when we were making media the most per hour.

the user will then be able to "drill" down to that hour and view the content that was made in that hour.   hiding a lot of the content on initial load so not confusing the user with lots of content.    that graph is a barchart but we are working on a whole suite of different looks that can be utilized on different designs (i.e - http://gviz.herokugarden.com/viz/piechart)

we think a lot of small videoblogging small content producers that attend a lot of venues will find the stats useful for prospective employees or contractors/freelancers that need to demostrate the value of this video content.   eventually of course i would like to plumb in hashtagged content from outside and match the output of media to the conversation around that media.
