People use web-based services extensively, but have few tools at their disposal to view and monitor their past uses. We present a visualization tool that pulls user data from Google services such as Blogger, Calendar, and Documents, and shows users who they have interacted with and what content they have shared. The goal of this research is to understand what people are able to report about their own past behavior and to design a tool to support self-monitoring and reflection. We also consider questions of privacy, data synthesis, and social visualization.
