Microsoft Launches Pivot, A Radically New Visualization of Online Objects

It always gives us joy to tell our readers that Microsoft is actually
doing cool things. The company's Live Labs has been the source of a
few interesting projects: a 3D photo-stitcher called PhotoSynth, a
bookmarking service called Thumbtack (which was shuttered just this
month). Typically, the UIs have been slick, but user adoption has
lagged.
Today, the Live Labs' latest creation has launched. Pivot is a fun,
powerful discovery tool, built on Seadragon and powered by
Silverlight, that runs in Vista or Windows 7 with IE8. It looks great
and allows for truly intuitive exploration of information.
The official demo video is was pretty cool, but is proving
unembeddable. Instead, take a look at this onstage demo from Neowin:
In short, datasets are organized as collections. Results can be as
granular or as big-picture as the user desires, and correlations and
patterns are easy to see and examine through powerful but simple
visualizations. Imagine browsing through thumbnails representing Kiva
loans, then sorting the loans by the different types of businesses
they helped established. Or, on a nerdier note, think about riffling
through decks of Magic: The Gathering cards, zooming in for
larger-than-life detail of the card's artwork and then zooming out to
see how each was related or linked to others in the set.
This probably reminds you - as it did us - a lot of Wikipedia. But
imagine Wikipedia as an infinitely scannable, shuffleable, expandable,
retractable, linked, and yet still detachable deck of digital cards;
and then you have an inkling of how Pivot looks and feels.
Collections can be created by anyone, including third-party
developers. Types of collections include simple, linked, and dynamic,
which are each progressively more difficult to create. Developers are
also encouraged to create collections from existing online datasets,
such as the Internet Archive or data.gov.
It's very exciting, indeed; and it's available for Windows users only
at the moment. Mac users, we're sorry. Why don't you go write some
complaint letters on your beautifully designed, virus-immune machines?
We'd love to rub it in some more by posting a few screenshots with
gloating captions, but we're too busy trying to get this machine to
stop being so Windows-y and just run the software
Right now, the service is invitation-only. We encourage you to Google
around for your invite codes or check in here later to see if the kind
folks at Live Labs have passed along any to us.

Google também está de gracinha pelada: http://image-swirl.googlelabs.com/
Não tentem buscar nada relacionado XXX, eu já tentei: Apenas os links iniciais estão dentro do demo.
Resgate do Flash? Talvez, embora HTML 5 tenha alguns truques nas mangas e todo o futuro, enquanto a reputação do Flash... É aquela que todos conhecemos.

Já usaram o Cooliris (Antigamente chamado "Piclens")? Extension para Mozilla, fuderoso. Exceto que come uma memória excruciante. Como se o Firefox fosse já digeirinho. Tem que experimentar, mas desinstale logo.
