Fusion of Yahoo YUI - Google Charts for mehtrix.com

So I have been spending some more time on my Facebook mehtrix site trying to
use both of the best worlds of Yahoo YUI, and Google Charts for the presentation
layer of the data harvested by Facebook application daily % usage graphs.

I use the calendar picker from YUI, and the dynamic charts (line, pie charts)
from g-charts.I have to say both are very easy to use, although you would
have to be proabbly cache the google charts because there is a daily 50k limit.

Here is a snippet:

Mehtrix.com now up :)

Hi,

Check out my new site: http://www.mehtrix.com/ 

It still has a bunch of features that are missing, but I am adding them
as time permits...

Currently I have the facebook crap meter running :), the xbox live graphs
will be added shortly.

What is it? 

Mehtrix is derived from "metrics".

"Metrics are a system of parameters or ways of quantitative and
periodic assessment of a process that is to be measured, along
with the procedures to carry out such measurement and the procedures
for the interpretation of the assessment in the light of previous or
comparable assessments. Metrics are usually specialized by the
subject area, in which case they are valid only within a certain domain
and cannot be directly benchmarked or interpreted outside it."


The idea is to get,capture and analyze metrics of stuff that is
relevant to my interest at any given time, and help draw the bigger
picture for people with similar interests.
