The point here is though that it's one example of a powerful movement toward democratising data visualisation. Vis tools are the first cab off the rank, and analysis tools will hopefully follow. We'll get lots of ugly visualisations by non-experts, just as we get lots of ugly web pages. On the other hand, the experts have been quite capable of producing ugly, bad, wrong, impenetrable visualisations; a facility with R or SPSS is not always associated with a solid understanding of visual communication. And we'll get new, unexpected, beautiful and useful visualisations as well. Cheers, V. Hello @Sherman –

Wordle can be configured (easily) to use only horizontal orientation. The point here is though that it’s one example of a powerful movement toward democratising data visualisation. Vis tools are the first cab off the rank, and analysis tools will hopefully follow.
