Visual.ly has already made news with their massive VC rounds and surprising popularity, and now they’ve taken the big plunge: Their tools for semi-automatic infographic creation are now public for anyone to use.

But this is just the beginning. Visual.ly Create will grow over time to include additional data feeds, designs, stories, and themes in the areas of sports, politics, economics, food, and more. We’ll even be opening it up to the community, so that you can create your own designs and themes. That’s when things get interesting.
