Sparklines and FeedBurner Web Services
Joe Gregorio's launched a cool new web service for generating Sparklines, the information-rich little graphics that can present a lot of data in a tiny space. The service seems like a natural fit for a lot of web applications, and one that pops to mind is connecting Sparklines to FeedBurner's Feed Awareness API.
The Awareness API documentation offers full details, but the short story is that statistics for any feed managed through the FeedBurner service should be available via a simple REST request. With your readership numbers plugged into the Sparklines service, it would be easy to display your audience trends over time right on your weblog.
