Google Visualisation API

This API has some excellent potential - we have recently started using Google Sites as an extranet platform, as it works well in a multi office environment and damn easy to use and update.

A nifty feature of Google Sites is that you can plug in Google gadgets anywhere throughout the site, which was nice. But now that I've seen these gadgets, it's not just nice, it's FANTASTIC! Pick a graph type, give it an XML feed and away you go.

The Gantt charts will be nifty for scheduling. I can just spit out a feed from my task system. Org charts so everyone knows their place. Gauges and pie charts and heat maps.... oh my!

Excuse me while I go and calm myself down.
