What ManyEyes Knows

on YouTube ↗10m

" summary

ManyEyes is a public site that lets anyone upload spreadsheet data, create and save interactive views (stacked histories, bubble charts, networks, word maps) and embed them with commenting and saved-state links. The team claims scaling the audience matters more than scaling data; users repurpose tools in surprising ways — a Bible co-occurrence network sparks discussion across ~100 blogs, word-visualizations via Wordle make speeches (Sarah Palin, Obama/McCain) analyzable, and a live map highlights Gonzales’s “I don’t recall” repeats. The project runs as a scalable deployment with open data and collaboration features.
