We're designing Swivel to let everyone participate and contribute. And it isn't only about the numbers; it's also about your observations and insights into those numbers. Context is what makes numbers meaningful as they relate to a team's project, a business, an industry, or the world.
So we're pretty stoked about a new feature called notes, which Gerad also mentioned last week. And people are already asking for more with notes; rather than annotating a single point in one data column, our early beta users want to add context that spans their entire business. We're already working on new design solutions to these challenges. Here's a sample design we've been kicking around for a shared workspace-wide timeline:
We have a huge backlog of ideas for context we'd like to integrate into Swivel: email conversations, online calendars, RSS feeds, Twitter timelines... the sky is the limit. What contextual time data would you pull into Swivel?
