A NY Times article about the "Many Eyes" visualization tool. Talks about another dimension of group collaboration to visually analyze data with the transformative potential to gain new insights about the data. \n\nMuch more than Excel charts and graphs, the "Many Eyes" web site allows for uploading data sets -- including textual material -- to visualize data gleaned from those sets.

You get more perspectives, and this can lead to more reliable decisions."
