I think maybe because of the membership fee. Covariable is new to me. I think it's time I take a deeper look into both. Thanks for the pointers. @Hadley: I agree, and I think at the root of that problem is that the people creating these sites don't really know what _good_ data analysis is either (with some exceptions of course). I like to think though that people eventually will learn. @anon: I came across Statcrunch a while back, but for some reason I didn’t look any deeper than the homepage.

I'm all for making visualisation and data analysis more available to the general public, but it seems important that these sites help people to learn what good data analysis is.

Have you tried Statcrunch or Covariable? I would be interested to hear your opinions on those. Great point. Have you tried Statcrunch or Covariable?
