It’s nice to see Google entering the scene for easy chart building — along with Yahoo’s Chart library and new JavaScript/Canvas-based stuff like Ole Laursen’s Flot. Frankly, I’ve been postponing doing a pretty chart based reporting tool for Nosco’s prediction markets for quite a while now (we do build nice charts for the web app though) but all of this could be becoming easier.

I’m still not jumping deliriously up and down. My first experiments with YUI Charts were mixed, and for everything it lets you do there’s two or three things out of reach. The same thing probably goes for Google’s hosted solution and it’s worth approaching the service with a bit of skepticism.
