I feel like we've seen a reniassance in HIVE data over the last few weeks. Marky's work inspired me to get off my backside and build the tool I was thinking of, and then there's further work happening downstream.
I showed my report card to a friend who is a writer (not on hive), and she has given me a few additional ideas for implementation into my report card from an English language perspective.
I am hoping that more people will get looking into the different visualisations and get excited about what they can offer. Too many seem complacent in their approach, acting out of convenience, rather than curiosity.
