DataAppeal is a Web-based, data-design visualization application that allows users to transform their location-based data into infographics through the creation of 3D and animated maps.
So says The Next Web on the site, currently in beta. TNW also says the app is open source (not that I see from the site) and makes 3D infographics (but DataAppeal does not use that term) from Excel spreadsheets (yes, they must be specially structured and are limited to a maximum of 5000 rows per file.). Do we need another Google Fusion Tables? Is the 3D that compelling? Are these infographics or just maps? I guess I'm not yet seeing the compelling distinguishing feature. The tool is currently free.
