PivotViewer, a nice control built by LiveLabs, is now released to the developemnt community. This control offers a unique way of interacting with large amounts of data on the web. It is a based on the idea of a collection and it lets you present this data in an informative, powerful way.
Use Scenarios:
- Business Intelligence
- Intranet Navigation
- Living Info Graphics
- Academic Research
- Retail
- Image Galleries
- Others, the possibilities are endless
Developer Info: Overview
Collections combine large groups of similar items on the internet, so we can begin viewing the Web as a "web" rather than a series of isolated pages. As a developer, you can create collections of your own. New collections can be created with no code – it’s only data.
There is a pretty cool Netflix Demo located here - http://netflixpivot.cloudapp.net
