This was actually one of the products by flowing media. They have lots of
programs on social data visualization, and seer is one of them. Founders of
flowing media are Fernanda Viégas and Martin Wattenberg, and they both are
now with Google.

Hi, all. This is strictly a bit of fluff, but it might actually be useful in
some search situations. I saw this demonstrated in a lighting talk at the
LITA National Forum earlier this month by Ann Perbohner, Dartmouth College.
Try it out with the phrases, “Why do women
” and “Why do men
”

or “Republicans are
” and “Democrats are
”
