More Gamertag mashups
I am loving all these services produced by folk who are playing about with the Gamertag dataset released by Microsoft. Have a look at this one, sent in by Jim:
GamerScoreChart.com is a service which allows you to convert the points earned playing Xbox 360 games into an image which shows the progress of your score over time. This chart is kept up to date automatically when it is retrieved. You can also compare your Gamerscore to a friend's score to see who gets the bragging rights.
There's the Major's, and the site provides the code for you to embed in your site, youtube style. Lovely lovely lovely.
(Thanks Jim McQ!)
What's your gamertag anyway, Alice? I'm TheoryPenguin, with my pathetic little gamescore... :P

Hmmm... will some people have gamerscores graphs that suddenly drop off when they get banned for cheating?

They didn't really release the data as such - it's restricted to members of the Developer Community programme, and access to that programme is closed. So those of us who might also have wanted to to fun stuff with the data but didn't hear about it in time are stuffed.
I understand that they might not want their servers being hammered by just anyone, but right now I'm restricted to what I can get by scraping the gamercard HTML and it would be nice to be able to do more...
