Tag Cloud in Java.
Wordle is a lot of fun to use if you’re a data visualization geek like I am. I took Gartner’s October 2007 report on PerformancePoint Server 2007, selected the Key Points, and copied and pasted it into the Wordle Web page.

Global distribution of the world's water
This is one striking example of why the polar caps are the most important feature of earth.
This shows us why Norway ends up with all of the garbage that falls off container ships.

YouTube - Twenty-First Century Waterfall
America consumes 31.2 billion water bottles a year taking 17.6 million barrels of oil to create them. Enough to fuel 1.5 million cars for a year. America consumes 100 billion plastic bags a year taking 12 million barrels of oil. World figures? 154.3 billion water bottles and 500 billion - 1 trillion bags=147.4 - 207.4 million barrels of oil a year.
So how come there isn't a Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor yet? I keep tossing my car water into the backseat when it should be going into the engine.

Demos | Lab49 Visualizations
Lots of finserv-based visualization demos here...
Demos
Lab49 continuously develops applications that demonstrate the latest technologies and how they can be applied in the next generation trading room.
Market Liquidity Analysis Visualization
Lab49 has built a visualization framework that integrates with Aleri's Market Liquidity Analysis (MLA) engine. MLA allows brokers and traders to optimize results across competing exchanges while the Lab49 framework provides a rich visual framework to gain insight into market dynamics. Additionally, the user interface enables users to consolidate trade reports, quotes and order books across multiple exchanges in real-time, creating a single virtual order book that represents the liquidity of the entire visible market. Consolidated last price and best bid/offer record for each security can also be generated.
