Swivel - data visualization

By Murray Bourne, 23 Oct 2007

I wrote earlier about IBM's Many Eyes: Browsing Visualizations, which allows users to upload their own data and to display it in interesting ways.

Here's another similar site, Swivel.

Update: (Aug 2011) It seems Swivel has disappeared (gone broke?). It's a shame.

Of the 'featured graphs' on the main page, this one caught my attention:

The top twenty hip hop artists all make more than ten million dollars a year in income.

hip-hop
(Units are millions of dollars).

Here's another one that I found interesting: Percent atheists, agnostics, non-believers in God by Country

Swivel graph - agnostics

Swivel is claiming more than 4 millions graphs so far.

HTML: You can use simple tags like <b>, <a href="...">, etc.

To enter math, you can can either:

  1. Use simple calculator-like input in the following format (surround your math in backticks, or qq on tablet or phone):
    `a^2 = sqrt(b^2 + c^2)`
    (See more on ASCIIMath syntax); or
  2. Use simple LaTeX in the following format. Surround your math with \( and \).
    \( \int g dx = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} \)
    (This is standard simple LaTeX.)

NOTE: You can mix both types of math entry in your comment.
