This is exactly the sort of thing that is totally wrong with information design. This product it nice in that it’s flexible and offers nice graphing/charting abilities in a web application. However their examples are the all wrong. Take a look at their animated charts. most of them are too slow and the animation doesn’t add any value at all. It actually takes away from it. When I first heard about the product I was exited at the idea of flash based chart to show real time data fluctuations or give feedback based on user set filters. Nope, it’s just a powerpoint style screen loading wastefulness. Yuck!
