Microsoft officially releases PivotViewer

It’s been 6 months since Microsoft first demonstrated their new visualization tool ‘Pivot’, but now it’s finally publicly available and free for all at their website.

The Silverlight PivotViewer makes it easier to interact with massive amounts of data on the web in ways that are powerful, informative, and valuable. PivotViewer lets us present thousands of things at once and visualize them in a way that exposes value from the group. PivotViewer experiences range in complexity to build. All involve the creation of a collection. PivotViewer is now available for you to begin building and embedding your collections directly onto your webpage.

They offer the offering software for free download, and it supports the ability to publish and embed your visualizations into the websites of your choosing.
