The paper "ManyEyes: A site for visualization at internet scale" by Viégas et al. (2007) introduces ManyEyes, a public web site designed to support large-scale collaboration and social data analysis through interactive visualizations. The site allows users to upload data, create visualizations, and engage in discussions. The authors address the challenges of end-user creation and open web-based collaboration, emphasizing the need for broad accessibility and usability. They describe the design choices, including data models, visualization components, and social features, such as comments, bookmarks, and annotations. The paper also presents early usage statistics and user feedback, highlighting the site's potential for both playful and serious data analysis. Future work will focus on enhancing community tools and expanding the site's functionality.The paper "ManyEyes: A site for visualization at internet scale" by Viégas et al.
