Geek Chart Graphs Turns Web Activity Into A Pie Chart
If you’re looking for a novel way to represent and visualise your online persona, Geek Chart takes your activity on popular sites and turns it into an interactive pie chart.
Geek Chart surveys your activity on the services and social networks—specifically, that’s Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, any blog with an RSS feed, Digg, StumbleUpon, Delicious, and Last.fm. Creating the chart is as easy as plugging in your user name for each of the above services that you use. Geek Chart gets to work, generating a pie chart based on your activity over the last 30 days. Each section of the chart displays the name of the service when the mouse cursor is placed over it, and if you click the section it redirects you to your publicly available presence on that service.
Making a chart is free; embedding the chart in your website requires a sign-up for an account. If you’re proud of your geek chart, link it in the comments below.

Didn't work for me. I input my info but nothing happened. The status bar said "Waiting for www.geekchart.com". I waited for a few minutes and then gave up.

It doesn't let you input your reddit account; just Digg and StumbleUpon.
Hmm, this website crashed my Firefox and was giving me tons of Flash errors. Anybody else having problems?
Windows 7 RC
Firefox 3.0.10

What do they do with my information once they have it? I'm not paranoid, but is this data that we organize and freely give to geekchart, used for marketing, sales reports, or what?

Very very slow, but when it was done, the graph showed 3 of the 6 sites I used (And even then, you have to hover your mouse to figure out which pie slice is which... that's pretty lame). So yeah, like most are saying, it's a joke.
Seems really slow... And a lot of errors, it hasn't worked for me yet.

I dunno. This just seems like a gimmicky way to get market share information. It seems like fun and all but I wonder what they're using the information for.
It only gives my Last.FM information which I thought was a bit odd. =/

@kylenalepa: Didn't crash my Firefox (Same version, on Mac). It just took so long, I almost gave up on it loading. There is no indication given that it's actually doing anything, it just sits there.
I am very unimpressed by Geek Chart.
A novel way to represent and visualize my online persona is precisely what I have been looking for!
I kid, of course. I'm just frustrated because this site crashed my computer.
[wakoopa.com] does the same, and has the angle of suggesting other apps / sites you can use.
This seems a bit like [swimwire.com]

Unfortunately it just gets stuck on loading. Also the pie chart should include a legend. Could be funny once it's finished, for now I'd rather create one manually with approximate figures.

I am not very interested to generate a chart of my web activity in the first place. After reading the comments, I have no desire to try.

@Senethior459: People actually use reddit?

Yes, yes they do.
