There are graphs for the economy, your academic record, and analytics of your website’s performance then why can’t Last.fm have something to show the history of your Last.fm listening? LastGraph comes aiming at some graphics for the last.fm-holics, aiming at providing users a way to have a glance at their history of audio listening at last.fm.

This is done using the last.fm API to transfer all the data in the user profile and squeeze it up into a various ways that are pretty interesting. The features offered include browsing of individual histories of artists along with an entire chart of performers you are a fan of, export of your data in varying format and an eye catching display of your stats.

There are certain issues related to the speed and performance, as the data acquired per second is around 10 requests and the time for loading up one’s profile can take a tiring 20 seconds. The technology is based on various platforms that include Django (for interface, live graphs and scheduling systems), Python for poster rendition. The entire thing is hosted on the Amazon S3 server.

The problem with speed is definitely related to the bulky posters that are made available for users but there is an alternate too it as users can utilize a makeshift smaller version.
