to collect in a mass

I built a couple Tumblr-related tools using AppEngine a couple weeks ago, but alas, the “several second” timeout they’ve imposed made them not so useful, though the bulk upload feature might make one of them work, though in a less-than-ideal state.  They also appear to be having issues with query response times, as this Google employee discovered. 

After coming across this post (via katrina, I think), I thought it would be kind of neat to make an app that profiled Tumblr users.  This is a screenshot of it via the Google SDK on my local machine, where there is no time limit.  It works on appspot for Tumblr users with not a lot of posts, but once you get beyond a certain point, all the necessary calls to the Tumblr API can’t be made before Google’s imposed time limit is hit.  At that point, a python traceback is displayed, which I can’t seem to stop, so I’m not sure I want to share the link yet.  I’m hoping the time limit will be removed as the service matures.  In preparation for that day, are there any other stats that you’d want to see about a user?  Top 10 most-linked-to domains is one I’ve seen before.  Of course, it would be much more efficient for Tumblr to provide all this information, so this is just temporary until they get around to it =)
