July 13, 2011 Top Trends
The debt ceiling fight continues to dominate the web. Last Wednesday it was number one, and it is this week again. But this week, it's so high on the charts that we didn't use a green arrow (maybe we should have went with a chili pepper?)
Then, news overnight of Janice Hahn's victory in CA-36 picked up and is trending upward. Hahn won Former Democratic Rep. Jane Harman's seat in a race against a Tea Party-backed candidate.
Obama's re-elect fundraising haul broke early this morning after Obama Re-elect manager Jim Messina sent a 4 a.m. ET email to supporters with news of the president's massive money haul. Initially, this story was trending at number two, but it's moved down to the number three spot.
Outside of the top three -- debt ceiling, CA-36 special election and Obama re-elect fundraising haul -- this story popped up on our Trend Tracker and caught our baseball-loving eyes. If you're a fan, too, you might appreciate this story: How Baseball Can Help You Understand the Debt Ceiling Debate.

I loved the baseball analogy. Now this is great reporting. But I'm a football fan. Maybe when they fumble the ball, the president should recover it while the linebackers protect the run to the end zone.

I have the pleasure to brief you on our Data Visualization software "Trend Compass".
TC is a new concept in viewing statistics & trends in an animated way by displaying in one chart 5 axis (X, Y, Time, Bubble size & Bubble color) instead of just the traditional X and Y axis. Discover trends hidden in spreadsheets. It could be used in analysis, research, presentation etc. In different business sectors, to name a few we have Deutsche Bank, NBC Universal, RIM, Vanguard Institutional Investor, Ipsos, Princeton University as our clients.

You can download a trial version. It has a feature to export EXE,PPS,HTML and AVI files. The most impressive is the AVI since you can record Audio/Video for the charts you create.
