Using Visualizations to Share Meaningful Insights
This was an excellent discovery for sharing meaningful insights. Many Eyes was a visual maker and there were several unique ways to use this tool. IBM described it as "the power of human visual intelligence".

Many Eyes had many applications for teachers, students, businesses, organizations, and more. Teachers and students familiar with Wordle may have preferred Many Eyes as it allowed for more customization, descriptions, and options. The cloud visualization above is an example of one of the kinds of visualizations you could make with Many Eyes. The most frequent words are portrayed with larger font.
The first basic step was to choose data or words you wish to input, such as a passage from a novel, a speech, or statistics. The second step was to select how you wanted data or words to display, as a cloud or net. After that you needed to provide a title and other descriptive information for your visualization.
Although the tool is no longer running, after reading the directions and playing around a bit with the Many Eyes website, you will discover some ideas for making your own visualizations with other tools.
