The social data visualization space greets another member. In other words, the "early beta" and "Web2.0 ready!" service called [chartle.net] is joining the ranks of Verifiable, Many Eyes, Swivel, iCharts, Trendrr, Widgenie, Track-n-Graph and Timetric.

 

I am not sure what makes this portal stand out from the crowd. The charts are simple and have some interactivity as clicking reveals the data values behind. The are many available techniques, including the traditional bar charts, pie charts, line graphs, plots and diagrams, timeline and motion charts, and a "fun" category, containing Google-o-Meter, data gauges and organization charts. Having observed the general aesthetic and similarity of bugs, the engine behind seems to be based on the Google Visualization API.
