Widgenie data sharing widgets

1 August 2008

widgenie.jpg
a new online socially-driven data visualization service, in the same line of Many Eyes & Swivel & Track-n-Graph, which allows users to visualize & share information through the use of small widgets. Widgenie allows data to be acquired from spreadsheets & be visually shared online through a sequence of simple, online steps. the current visualization methods include the traditional line charts, bar charts, area charts, pie charts & text clouds.

UPDATE: unfortunately, the widget seems to mess up the layout terribly...

Hey, the widget you added to this posting looks messed up. It shows on top of your post and below the mid-column. (Is this is a good example of how it still needs some improvement?)

well-spotted!

there was a choice between not posting it at all, or showing that it is broken, indeed. I also tried to put it between OBJECT tags (like I sometimes need to do for other Flash embeds), but it did not show at all...

I couldn't help but notice in their demo movie that the bar chart sorted the data by alphabetical order -- for data that was explicitly identified as date. Alphabetical order for text makes sense -- but why would they not automatically sort dates chronologically? Not a very impressive demo -- a very clear bug in their primary demo.
