Spreadsheet chart publishing gets political
Tuesday, February 5, 2008
Posted by: Jonathan Rochelle, Product Manager
We've seen plenty of examples of how
Google spreadsheets
are published on other sites - either with simple links or with embedded sheets and charts. In fact, I even created
another blog
just to keep a list of some interesting ones, since people are always pinging me to either say "Hey JR, give me some examples of how people are using spreadsheets to share information", or, "Hey JR, check this one out!".
Well, today we saw another example worth blogging about. It's topical, it's professional, it's useful, it's fast - it's political... In covering
Super Tuesday Poll results
,
Reuters
used Google spreadsheets to generate and publish result charts for their web site. The image included here is a screen shot from their main
2008 Elections Page
, which actually had 8 embedded charts last time I looked. We didn't do anything special to help
Reuters
do this, in fact, we came across this by chance just watching the results on their site.
If you've got interesting data you want to share, check out the
publishing options
in Google Docs, and even learn how to
publish charts
.
[update 6 Feb 2008 - Now that the voting is over, the charts as originally published have been swapped out of Reuter's Politics pages for more relevant, timely stories...sorry if you missed it.]
