I'm a sucker for purdy things...

You can thank my Morocco connections for this one. It’s a tool that is designed to take data sets that you provide and turn them into a variety of graphical representations.

Here is Obama’s speech at the DNC, turned into a word tree with McCain as the roots. http://services.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/app

I’m still wrapping my head around what it all means, but I do know that it at least looks cool and I’m a sucker for that.

I can see this tool making a cool graph for a client that has plenty of data to work with… say Coinstar or HPWatch? Once again, I don’t know how but I do know that it would look cool.
