Has that speculated "allow dupes after a certain period of time" feature been added? Same URL 790 days ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=391487

(It's a great widget though and deserves more attention. I've been using it since that last post! :-))

Neat little widget. Does anyone know of a simple web-based tool that would enable me to take snapshots of the various counts (for each service) at regular intervals, and then graph them, calculate growth rates, etc?

I'd like to create a "dashboard" for myself that includes something like this, my blog stats, feeburner stats, Google Analytics stats, etc.

At least for reddit, there's http://www.karmawhores.net/ . You won't see much, 'cause it doesn't start keeping data until you add yourself. Here's mine, so you know what it will look like: http://www.karmawhores.net/user/zck

Heh, I created that site ages back only so I could boast about my position in comment karma, but now I've fallen off the top 20 after deleting my account :( I wonder if the guy who took over ever rewrote it, my code was truly awful.

I'd pay $20 for that.

Feel free to paypal me :)

This is very cool and will work exactly the way I want it to work. Thanks!

This is genius... seriously.

There is http://twittercounter.com/ for twitter.

My reddit karma shows 0, probably because it takes forever to load arbitrary /user/x pages on reddit until they're cached, at which point it merely takes a long time.

The timeout is set pretty high (10 sec), but it could timeout and then get cached. I'm seeing karma for your username now though.

10 seconds is quite low for Reddit.

This seems a little too much like bragging for my tastes. Not that my "karma" scores are terribly high, so maybe I'm just sore.

This would make for an extremely useful API. You wouldn't be able to make any money off it, but as a "side product" to keep people thinking about your search engine it would be a good idea. I'd use it.

I actually made it for myself over two years ago :)

Maybe add Disqus?

Agreed. We'd love to use it at http://letslunch.com, since we pretty much use reputation from similar sites. But we do a little more thorough analysis though.

BTW - you can see the widget in action on Gabriel Weinberg's blog (DDG founder): http://www.gabrielweinberg.com/

How about the FeedBurner feed subscriber count?

Is that info easily grabbable somewhere publicly? I see those images with counts but haven't seen it written in text.

I think it's available via this API: http://code.google.com/apis/feedburner/awareness_api.html

Not sure if you'd need each user to supply credentials though.

Thx -- that'll work.
