I read about Swivel when the site first launched in early or mid-2007, but I finally got a chance to input some small but useful data. I really like the results.

I took data from the Mine Safety website of mining deaths in the US from 1900 to 2007, and uploaded a .csv file to Swivel. It automatically takes the fields and lets you create a play with graphs, clouds, and tables in all sorts of forms.

You can see my whole data set, but Swivel also lets you take what you play with and bring it to other websites with handy embed code.

Here’s a graph of miners vs. mining deaths for the last century.

It’s pretty cool stuff – if you have data and/or graphing needs, I recommend you check out Swivel.
