Hi,
I saw this video on TED Talks and it looks like a great way to view, manage and search for information in any data retrieval system, i.e. Moodle. I think it could be very useful for teachers and assessors, especially for user participation and activity assessments, as well as being empowering for learners to gain an insight into their own learning behaviour patterns.
What do you think?

Wow! Indeed food for the thought.
Who needs individual search results when you have this...?
Please...someone tell me how to integrate this into Moodle...

Hi Matt and thanks for the info.
However I beg to remain skeptical as to how this Pivot application might "empower learners to gain an insight into their own learning behaviour patterns". The video "show" leaves me with the impression of "commercial gift of the gab".
