Free Flash FusionCharts

When I was offered to give review for Animated (and Free) flash charting service for blogs and be paid for it, I couldn't believe it. Why? Because I was already familiar with FusionCharts. In fact, I am using them for week or two now, I'm quite happy with them and wanted to post about it anyway.

FusionCharts is kind of flash project I should have done, just for myself, for fun. But, fortunately, I discovered they are already created. So, what is FusionChart Google Gadget? It's a easy to use tool that will help you build charts and graphs. You can build 2D and 3D charts, doughnut and pie charts (are you hungry yet?) and more. Platform for charts is based on Adobe Flash and you need at least Flash Player 6, or above. Flash is reading data from simple xml file. Data, which includes values, chart titles, colors are parsed and result is rendered and displayed with included animation.


FusionCharts Google Gadget can be used in your blogs, websites, Google Page Creator and more, but it is also fun to use it as a handy personal tool. I know I am having fun with it. You can't imagine amount of things that can be presented with charts. My recent experience shows everything can be charted. Cat food weekly consumption? No problem. Number of times word "bush" is mentioned on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart per episode? Sure. Just name it.

If you already know about FusionCharts, you probably agree with me and if you haven't heard about, you just lost your last excuse.

Did I mentioned it is free? Well it is, but this post is paid review.
