Note to Self: Need More Flare

Many-Eyes is fun, but if I really want geek cred I need to learn how to create unique visualizations in Flare, the platform on which Many Eyes is built:

Flare is an ActionScript library for creating visualizations that run in the Adobe Flash Player.

Even better, flare features a modular design that lets developers create customized visualization techniques without having to reinvent the wheel.

Here is a Corporations by Political Contributions visualization made in Flare.
