That is weird. I wonder if bought the software (which I'm sure would take Google geeks a few weeks to recode from scratch, probably in DHTML+canvas/svg instead of flash) or the IP rights to that kind of visualization? I think adding time as a dimension to a scatterplot is a very useful feature... I really hope they don't start claiming IP rights on those things or it might be a problem for us (even if, that said Sweden is very liberal about these things, so I doubt it). > Johan Sundström wrote: >> On 3/15/07, David Karger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >>> looks like someone at google got excited about gapminder.
