I posted not too long ago about Microsoft Pivot, a unique data visualization tool that can be used for geographic classification if a dataset includes a geographical component:
At the time, you could only use Microsoft’s own sample datasets, not your own. Microsoft has just released information about how to create your own Pivot dataset, called a “collection”; see their PivotViewer Info page for links to more information. You used to need a stand-alone app to view the data, but Microsoft has released a Silverlight-based widget that will let you embed Pivot into any web page.
Please update the ‘Get Pivot’ links:

and

Thanks for the info; I’ve updated the links.
