I'm giving into the hands of readers the most useful online tool I know — Many Eyes

The service is done by professionals — the team deals with issues of information design since 2003: Fernanda created service for visualization of mail archives, Martin made ​​a utility for visualizing popular baby names.

The beauty of this work is that you can load the data and the service will recognize it — where text, where is percentage, and where — figure.

And then visualize it how you want. From what I used (again, what is not in Excel).

1. Variation of bubbles

2. Working with text — just tremendous opportunities to make a beautiful tag clouds and ligaments

3. Maps — I am just giving the images here and you'll understand everything: you can put few maps together, add bubbles, play with brightness and zoom the region.

Only Java is periodically lagging and does not want to generate the things needed ((
