Fernanda Viegas and Martin Wattenberg of Many Eyes fame will be releasing a new data visualization tool they call ‘Time Flow’ soon on the website of their current company ‘Flowing Media’.  The tool is a simple way to create visual timelines from textual data (appointment lists, contributions, etc) and show it as a calendar or timeline.  It also has other various visualization methods such as lists, tables, and graphs that offer statistical summaries and data analysis algorithms.

The software will be released as open source, but no license is specified.
