Last year we
wrote an in-depth feature on
Pivot, a Microsoft
Live Labs technology that helps make sense of interconnectedness between objects on the web.
The underlying premise of Pivot is to view relationships between "collections" of individual information on the the webMany of the connections between items on the web aren't necessarily tangible, but Pivot helps crawl massive amount of objects on the web and produces sleek visualizations of all that is connected.
Today, Microsoft is using the technology to power
Silverlight PivotViewer, which is now available for downloadPivotViewer lets the user visualize thousands of items at once and then organize and navigate them within a rich media application.
Pivot and Silverlight technologies are the core of the PivotViewerDevelopers and designers can now use Silverlight PivotViewer to build collections and embed them on their websitesUsing the Deep Zoom technology in Silverlight 4, you can zoom into high resolution content and pan around to find what you’re looking for.
