Swivelers at InfoVis 2007

Yesterday Sara and I took a field trip to Sacramento for the InfoVis conference to participate in a panel on The Impact of Social Data Visualization.

It was a great crew of leaders in the field: Martin Wattenberg and Fernanda Viega (Many Eyes) Ola Rosling (Google), all organized and moderated by Robert Kosara (UNCC). I gave a short presentation focusing on our approaches to data sharing, collaboration, and visualization, with some hints at cool emerging topics we're encountering in designing the upcoming version of the site, like privacy and sharing, data ownership, provenance, live data streams, the api, and so on.
