Creatalytics by Matthew Burgess

Gary Flake, a Technical Fellow at Microsoft, demo’d Pivot at TED 2010 last month. Pivot is built on Seadragon technology, and allows for us to move beyond the simple form of searching we’ve been doing, and start to interact more creatively with massive amounts of data. And not just raw quantitative data, but visual content.

He said that the goal was to “use information so that patterns pop and we can see trends that would otherwise be invisible.”

The video is about 6 minutes, and well worth the watch. Things are about to change dramatically in the way we look through content-related data.
