Insight Software, Inc. has announced the launch of TimeWall, a nifty content visualization tool that allows content to be displayed as if it were on a 3-dimensional historical time line with multiple threads. I had the opportunity to view this in preview form a few months ago, and it is a very handy way to understand how content representing events, people and such relate over time and how the introduction of various variables can change those visual relationships. Obviously the CIA finds it to be a nifty way to keep tabs on what the "baddies" have been doing over time in relationship to one another, given a new Inxight contract with their In-Q-Tel VC arm, but in the demos that I saw it had some great applications to more mundane concerns, such as understanding how well individuals in sales teams perform in relation to real-world events. Slide a few controls on the TimeWall back and forth and you can factor in any number of variables to hone in on the real evolution of cause-and-effect content relationships. If you're looking for a new way to visualize trends and relationships through your content sets, this is a must-see toy that may very well be worth considering for your desktop or browser.
