Social Visualization Software Review: Swivel - information aesth. As Google (Public Data Explorer) and Microsoft (Pivot) are getting into the mix of online data visualization tools, it is evident that this is a realm to carefully watch. Public data is de rigeur and blogs in this field are becoming ubiquitous, hence the perfect storm for online visualization.
While public data is not necessary for online viz, it certainly makes it easy for the masses to enter the fray of data analytics. As we announced a few months ago, we will be starting a new feature aimed at reviewing visualization tools. There are many tools out there that suit different needs and sport varied features. This ongoing feature will hopefully shed light on these tools and if they might fit into your workflow. Our first software review will focus on the arguably current big three of online dataviz tools: Swivel, Many Eyes, and Tableau Public. We chose the criteria based on user comments from our previous posts.
First, we want to focus on Swivel. Next week we will review IBM Many Eyes.
