Mycrocosm needs you!
To fill out a survey… Hey all, I will be giving a talk on mycrocosm in early next year and would really appreciate being able to better understand how people are using and responding to mycrocosm (basically i have to do some kind of evaluation of the system – this feeds into the research motivations behind creating mycrocosm). So I have created a brief survey here. Please please please take a few minutes of your time to fill it out. You can also send related comments to mycrocosm@media.mit.edu.
Thanks a lot! Once again the link to the survey.
Mycrocosm scripts!
Check this out. Tim, a Mycrocosm user has written a script to automate updating his graph that displays some email statistics. The script uses the twitter api to mycrocosm. Which does make me reconsider whether I need to continue working on the mycrocosm api any more – in which case i would have to deal with rate limiting and all that – or just let twitter handle that part.
I had also always hoped that the text based syntax in mycrocosm would make it easy to write this kind of stuff without me having to provide a separate api, so I take this as a good sign.
Once again here’s the link to Tim’s mycromail script
Thanks Tim!
