That does look pretty and awesome for business data, but do you know of anything similar that is more plugged into personal and social data sources like the OP? I wouldn't be so eager to e.g. recode a weather API that pushes specifically to Telemetry's service when there are already zillions of weather widgets and APIs out there.
Telemetry is just in the process of getting going. The capabilities you talk about are coming within the next couple weeks to Telemetry (I'm one of the two lone programmers behind Telemetry). Right now the app is uber geeky but we've made a killer real time HTML5 and native visualization engine with real time push. We're working on making things less geeky as we go but we currently have a native OSX app. Our iPad/iPhone app is coming in a couple weeks.
I can't see any pricing - I'd like to use you guys for a project, but I don't want to invest time writing a bunch of custom software to send our metrics to you, if you're going to disappear in 12 months... What's the roadmap re pricing and sticking around?
We're going to put pricing on the public site too. We plan to stick around of course, the major advantage for us is that this project has almost no burn rate and is a critical component already of another one of our projects. So it's not going anywhere.
Yep, I need to make that demo board more dynamic. The technology is such that we can easily update once per second, perhaps even more frequently with some animation changes. Server sent events makes things easy.
