Swivel - Web 2.0 for data

0 comments | Saturday, June 09, 2007

If you love statistics as I do then this is the site for you. Swivel is a online community that posts data, there are some analysis but most of the site is composed of pure data.
Swivel lets you explore data and share your insights with others. Swivel has data about politics, economics, weather, sports, business and more.
You can view information in a graph form but the most satisfying feature is that you can download a CSV file (can be opened in Excel without any problems) and preform what ever action you want on it.
Currently, Swivel is in Public Preview mode which means that any data set you post on it is visible to everybody else.
The amount of data is surprising but the quality can be an issue as some data sets that you find interesting are not of sufficient depth. This will improve over time, and reminds me of Wikipedia but for data. A person can find all sorts of information on it and is a site worth of your visit.
