Swivel warrants a look

Swivel's mission is to make data useful so people share insights, make great decisions and improve lives.

In an era of spin, opinion, and apathy about statistics, Swivel is a Web site that makes it easy for everyone to collaborate and explore data together — because better informed people make better decisions: in voting booths, in corporate boardrooms and at neighborhood meetings.

We believe data is most valuable when it's out in the open where everyone can see it, debate it, have fun, and share new insights. Swivel is applying the power of the Web to data so that life gets better.

Let's start with change. Knowledge changes. Information gets stale.
Data is moveable. Data moves. Data runs.
