I've updated the article with a better description. Robert, thanks for your comment and for pointing that the term “new technology” was misleading.

Beyond that, this kind of thing has been straightforward to do all along. I have perl scripts from the mid 90's that generate bar and pie charts based on parameters passed in the URL. The syntax is almost identical to this. In my opinion, this solution is so obvious I just cannot understand why people are so impressed. (By the way, the technique is just as applicable to things such as barcodes, dynamically generated buttons, sequence numbers, etc., all of which I've implemented before in this same way). That said, I still think it is a nice service to have, and their charts certainly look nicer than mine.
