Another 'visualization' tool
We've talked a lot on the blog about good ways of visualizing data. For something a little lighter this Friday, here is one of the more unusual visualizations that I've come across: a time series of real housing prices represented as a roller coaster, which you can 'ride'. It isn't perfect; they need a little ticker that shows you what year you are in, but it is a neat idea. It would be fun to do something similar with presidential approval.
(hat tip: Big Picture)

I would love a web mashup that did this with any acceptably data, and then did some content analysis to add contemporary news headlines or photos (or anything)to give visualization some context,

Hahaha, wow. That's a very creative way to represent data. If all business used this in board meetings, we'd all be a little more entertained.
