So, I previously blogged about using PivotViewer in your Web Applications, but you can also just consume Pivot collections using the “Pivot” tool from Microsoft Live Labs
You can download it here
What does this tool offer? Well first it has a library/homepage of collections you can browse
You can do some slicing and dicing on a collection of Presidents, or athletes, or Sports Illustrated covers. This tool and technology really fasinates me. It is “Business Intelligence” but in a different way – it is based on “objects” (images) instead of “metrics”. I like it.
What are some cool things I think this could be used for? Company Directory? Online Catalog? Beer selection at Eddie’s? the list goes on and on..
Additionally there is now an add in for SQL Server Reporting Services and SharePoint 2010 you can download here
Once I have an environment in which I can test that set up, I will blog about it.
