Today we’d like to announce our second public project, FeedStats. FeedStats exists for the purpose of visualizing FriendFeed users’ data to see how they interact not only with the service, but with other users. It’s a quick way to find what services they’re using, when they post, and who interacts with their content the most.

Inspiration for the project came from a popular (and similar) utility for Twitter called TweetStats. We liked their service enough that we’ve modeled ours after their high standards. Though we’re apples to their oranges, we feel that we owe quite a bit to Damon for inspiring us to build FeedStats.
Integration with FriendFeed
One of the coolest things about FeedStats – aside from the awesome data visualization – is that you can interact directly with FriendFeed using your account. You may choose to use our site completely without signing in, but you’ll miss out on some cool features. Once you authenticate yourself to us, we’ll use your account to perform functions like one-click following of other users you stumble upon on our site. Though it’s the only feature right now that requires authentication, there might be more in the future. Rest assured that your credentials are safe and we take privacy seriously.
Graphs You’ll Find Useful
All the information we use is collected directly from the FriendFeed API using publicly available methods. If you do have a private account, we won’t be able to process your stats at this time.
For all the public users, we chart the services you use (in bar and pie charts), how many posts you make each day of the week, how many posts you make each hour of the day, and who likes and comments on your content the most. The final, and possibly most useful, chart we build is called the Like Compatibility Index.
The Like Compatibility Index is generated by looking at posts you’ve liked recently and seeing who else has liked them. We’ll tally up the users with whom you have the most likes in common and give you the option to follow them or view their stats or profile. The Like Compatibility Index is great for finding other users who have similar interests as you.
