I just had an idea. Is it possible to collect statistics on how many users have chosen each of the system styles? Obviously it would need to exclude / account for custom styles in some way, and feed accounts which can't change their style. It would be interesting to see actual statistics on which styles and colour themes are most commonly used.

Date: 2009-09-15 06:26 pm (UTC)I think what I want is a simple little JSON file with some easy stats, like:
* last post time
* paid account status
* default icon
* # comments posted/received
* # posts made
* external accounts (ie, AIM, Twitter listed stuff) maybe?
* location if given
* birthdate if given
* email would be nice but my guess is we wouldn't due to harvesting
It wouldn't need interests or edges data. But yeah, styles could go there, if we made it.
Mostly I really really want last time updated and paid account status for some scripts I want to make. I want to have a script that lets me buy paid time for actively posting free users who post to communities I like, for instance, and right now I can't do that without scraping the profile.
But, yeah, if we had to had to had to, it could go into a FOAF extension.
There might be privacy concerns, I wager--it should probably only report publicly available layers.
