I really need something like this. However, I watched the video and came back unconvinced. You don't show me how to manipulate data. How do I get it into the canvas? Can I get it from APIs? from Google Docs? Can I bind data to attributes of the objects I drag and drop into the canvas? Can I filter and aggregate my data or must I preprocess it offline? We really need a web app that brings infovis to the masses — like a Garageband-ified Tableau. There's nothing like that yet. But if you are just a themed clipart canvas, you'll find a formidable competitor in PowerPoint.

In the introduction part of the video, I expected to be shown how to add and manipulate data. We also don't know if you can pull real-time statistics or is this going to be just a pretty front end for CSV/Excel sheets.

Your point about Powerpoint is spot on. And the bonus there is you can directly cut-paste graphs from Excel into it with the least amount of hassle.

So true, without data binding it is just a graphic editor or a mockup creator. Here is a new webbased dashboard/infographic app coming in few days http://www.infocaptor.com/help/infocaptor_enterprise.htm

It has the canvas drag drop and integrates with google spreadsheet or your database to build infographics style dashboards. Infographics without data is a static image, data adds life to it.

I skipped the video in favor of the demo, but I couldn't figure out how to use my own data for the area graph either.
