Scott of http://brokekid.net/ recommended Many Eyes Wikified. I tried it out. It is amazing. I was able to take a live feed and create visualizations.

Note: It appears Wikified Many Eyes can’t handle data with lot of columns. But that is not a problem. I can setup the data feed such that only relevant columns are generated.

Hi,

I went through Nathan’s blogpost. Didn’t find anything useful. I even posted on Flowing Data’s forums . But haven’t received any useful responses yet. :(

Thanks

@Saqid Ali: I agree that the missing editing capabilities in Many Eyes are somewhat limiting. Actually I haven't come across any online visualization tool tht works from live data (beside custom-made applets). I recommend going through the webapps collected by Nathan on the Guardian Data Blog. Hopefully you'll find something useful there and if so, please share your findings.

It is good to see that Google is finally entering the Data Visualization and Infographics space with Google Fusion. IBM offers Many Eyes which can create amazing Visualizations, however Many Eyes lacks the ability to edit the data set once it is uploaded.

Question:
I am looking for a online (web-based) tool that can create visualizations from live data (RSS or HTML Table). I think dabbledb can consume live data, however the selection of graphs at dabbledb is extremely limited. :(

Any thoughts?
