I'd love to see graphs of the activity on a tag shown on the tag's page. A lot like what Greg Hewgill did here using the data dump:

Tag trends by week

It would be great to see new activity trends and cumulative activity trends since the latter is easier to read for relatively low-activity topics.

  • What sort of behavior would you like to encourage by doing this? Commented Sep 9, 2011 at 18:42
  • I see this feature making SO a more useful site, hopefully without altering people's behavior. Activity trends say a lot about the health of technologies and their communities. On the down side, it might encourage gaming the site to make your favorite tech appear more active.

    Was looking for this, as I wanted to see how [wp7] was doing against the competition over time.

  • Greg's site is a nice start, but it's harder to use for newer tags. For example comparing two frameworks only a few months old for activity. There are many improvements that would be worthwhile for the community for a number of purposes. Commented Dec 29, 2012 at 22:46

This is a table not a graph, but is does give precise comparison of tag activity over the last 6 months.

Enter two tags and you'll see their mass and momentum and monthly growth:
