Microsoft Live Labs has an ambitious project called "Pivot". The goal is to interact with massive amounts of data in new ways, using different metaphors and approaches.
"At the heart of Pivot are "Collections." They combine large groups of similar items on the Internet, so we can begin viewing the relationships between individual pieces of information in a new way. By visualizing hidden patterns, Pivot enables users to discover new insights while interacting with thousands of things at once."
Johannes Kebeck tried Pivot with huge sat imagery updates and BING metadata:
Interested to learn how smart grouping and similarity works on homogenous sat imagery.
