Wing Yung made a great exhibit of games [1] recently. Then he wanted to make some plots from the data but he noted that Exhibit wasn't good for visualizing quantities [2] and used ManyEyes instead [3]. I thought there wasn't any reason why Exhibit couldn't do scatter plots. Why do you need a whole web server just to draw a few dots? So here's a quick shot at it: http://people.csail.mit.edu/dfhuynh/projects/video-games/2006top100games.htm I hope Wing didn't mind me stealing his exhibit :-) It was great that I didn't have to do any scraping. The joy of reusable data! Actually, Exhibit can do faceted browsing on that plot while ManyEyes can't ... Having the whole data model on the client side opens up many possibilities.
