    I just felt like creating a chart of Priuschat's first 5,000 members by date.
    See attachment.

    That's pretty cool looking Tony, but could you redo it with a linear timeline on the vertical axis...it seems a bit arbitrary. Make every line like 3 months or put a line every month or something easier to see the rate of growth over time.

    Any possibility of seeing Priuschat demographics, i.e., distribution shown on a maps with dots or other symbol?

    Holes (lack of information) often speak loudly. Where are the concentrations of Prii (and where is there a lack of Prii? As we move forward, will Highlander hybrid ownership parallel Prius ownership? Is there a lack of hybrids in those areas where SUVs are dominant?

    I was in a hurry to get off the computer when I threw it together and posted it last night. Then I thought that it would be better if the dates ran along the X-axis and the usernumbers along the Y-axis. I'm working on that idea but have to run to a meeting.

    It's not that it's anything dramatic, I'm just doing it for my own sense of closure. It's a nerd thing. I'm sure you understand.

    [Edit]
    I've changed the layout of the chart and attached it here.
    I like this layout better.

    Actually, Tony has a map of dots for the members of the Chicago Prius group. At this early stage, the absence of a dot doesn't indicate much, and the presence of a dot in no way prevents that household from getting a second dot.

    [Edit: I really like the graph version 2.0 - what an amazingly steady growth rate! Is that Continuously Variable Membership?]

    I've been looking to do an interactive map for PriusChat forever, I just have no idea how to do it and have it interact with the forum software.

    I'd like to do something like what we have on HiHyChat:

    And Tony, the graph is cool, thanks for putting that together. I had a smile on my face last night when I saw it.
