I’ve started to see some good sparkline traction lately, especially alongside blogs. Happily, many of these make use of the Sparkline PHP Library I cobbled together after seeing Edward Tufte’s seminar in 2004.
Yesterday, I stumbled on Sean McBride’s excellent SparkStats plugin for WordPress 2.0. A minute later, and zap - posting and comment stats are now in my sidebar. Thanks Sean!
Many more example uses are on the Sparkline library wiki but I suspect there are a lot more out there. If you’ve seen sparklines out in the wild, please add them to the list.
