What's New on Swivel

Just a quick update about some new features at Swivel Business:

The future of public data on Swivel

Share Swivel Business charts with the entire world.  Anybody, even anonymous visitors, can see public data. (Reminder: we are merging Swivel and Swivel Business into one website.)

Interactive Embeds

Easily add a Swivel chart or spreadsheet to your website or blog. Our embeddable charts are interactive, so people can explore the numbers right from your site. Check it out:

 

New Navigation

We got rid of the inbox metaphor, gave groups home pages, and refined the way you browse. We think these changes make it much easier to get around Swivel Business.

Programmatic Chart Creation

Developers can use our new Chart API to programmatically create charts and keep them up to date.

Exponential Times

At Swivel, we believe facts and figures drive decision-making and change. With that in mind, it's interesting to consider how far we've come in collecting, sharing, and actively using information.

This video helps convey the speed at which our world and technology is evolving in the information and globalization age. It's full of fun factoids and infographics that show how we live and thrive in these exponential times. For example, "it is estimated that a week's worth of the New York Times contains more information than a person was likely to come across in a lifetime in the 18th century."

How do you keep up in the information age?

One Swivel

You may have noticed that we have two different websites right now: Swivel Preview for all your public data and Swivel Business for your private numbers.

Today, we have some important news for everyone who uses Swivel: we are merging Swivel and Swivel Business into one website.

The new Swivel will use the technology from Swivel Business, so it may feel a bit different than the website you're used to.  However, we will do our best to make sure the transition has minimal effects on your current data, charts, and comments.

We will keep you updated as we move along in this process. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them here or email us.

We encourage everyone to check out the new Swivel and tell us what you think. Your feedback is very important to us. (It's still a work in progress, so please excuse the rough edges.)
