Sugunasri Maddala's Column - "Many eyes"

PEOPLE share their videos on YouTube and their photos at Flickr. Now they can share more technical types of displays: graphs, charts and other visuals they create to help them analyze data buried in spreadsheets, tables or text.

At an experimental Web site, Many Eyes, (http://www.many-eyes.com/), users can upload the data they want to visualize, then try sophisticated tools to generate interactive displays. These might range from maps of relationships in the New Testament to a display of the comparative frequency of words used in speeches by Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.

The site was created by scientists at the Watson Research Center of I.B.M. in Cambridge, Mass., to help people publish and discuss graphics in a group. Those who register at the site can comment on one another’s work, perhaps visualizing the same information with different tools and discovering unexpected patterns in the data.

Ben Shneiderman, a professor in the computer science department at the University of Maryland, College Park, and a pioneer in information visualization, says sites like Many Eyes are helping to democratize the tools of visualization. “The gift of the Internet is that everyone can participate, and the tools can be brought to a much wider audience,” he said.

Presenting results in a static spreadsheet or table may do the job. “But sometimes it’s like driving with your eyes closed,” he said. “With visualization, it might be possible to open your eyes and see something that will help you” — for instance, patterns, clusters, gaps or outliers in the data.

“The great fun of information visualization,” he said, “is that it gives you answers to questions you didn’t know you had.”

Data can be organized many ways on Many Eyes. Above is a chart of Olympic medals.

Lines and Bubbles and Bars, Oh My! New Ways to Sift Data

By ANNE EISENBERG

Published: August 30, 2008

I read about this earlier, perhaps in newspaper. But, before trying it for myself, or forget about it before doing anything with it, I thought of sharing it with our community. Some of us may try it. Visualization may help to make our point more clear and may help many a librarian convince their directors and users.

"U love sum1U marry sum1 else.
The one u marry becomes ur wife or husband.
And the one u loved becomes the password of Ur mail id"
******There's only 1 perfect child in the world & every mother has it.
There's only 1 perfect wife in the world & every neighbour has it.
******Three dreams of a man:To be as handsome as his mom thinks.
To be as rich as his child believes.
To have as many women as his wife suspects...
******Husband & wife are like liver and kidney.
Husband is liver & wife kidney.If liver fails, kidney fails. If kidney fails,
liver manages with other kidney.
******What's the diff b/w Dava & Daru?
Dava is like girlfriend, that comes with expiry date nDaru is like wife, Jitni purani hogi utna sir Chad ke bolegi.
******Wife ko Begum kyon kehte hain?
Kyonki shaadi ke baad saare gum to husband
ke hisse mein aate hain orWife Be-Gum ho jati hai.
