They have two initiatives I'm aware of. The first is called Google charts. With some tinkering you can use Google to generate a chart image based on some data (see <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/chart/">http://code.google.com/apis/chart/</a>). The second is that they bought the gapminder presentation software that Hans Rosling used in his fantastic TED presentation (see <a href="http://www.gapminder.org/blog/gapminder-foundation-blog/make-your-own-graph-google-announces-motion-chart.html">http://www.gapminder.org/blog/gapminder-foundat...</a>).

Its right front & center on the home page right now...incredible data visualization. Really brought home the fact that elections are like herding cattle...most of the white voters voted for Clinton, and all the black people voted for Obama! Data visualization indeed cuts through the bull shit and really helps facts hit home.<br><br>Nice post! I just came across the “2008 Campaign tool” on NYTimes (http://www.nytimes.com/).

I just completed a class in information visualization and communication and I want to see more of this going on. Any suggestions for the casual blogger? <br><br>Maybe Google is working on this.
