Swivel: When Sharks Attack!

Monthly Iraqi Civilian Deaths vs. Coalition Military DeathsSwivel is a simple site where people can upload data sets and then graph them against each other. You get graphs from the intriguing like, When Sharks Attack! vs. NASDAQ Adjusted Close, to the serious, as in Monthly Iraqi Civilian Deaths vs. Coalition Military Deaths (seen in picture).

With Swivel you can explore other people’s data, graph different data sets, comment on graphs, and blog your results. It is a clean idea to get people experimenting with data. I wonder how we could provide something like this for texts?

Thanks to Sean for this.

  1. This was a good reminder for me to explore a few of my datasets there. They have been making some changes to Swivel over the past few months and its improved dramatically.

    I also noted on the export to blog function they offer a nice little 40 pixel sparkline function. Intriguing. Creates some interesting sparklines using chart types I hadn’t seen before. Fun!
