• Explainum is designed for collecting and sharing knowledge about important metrics – like stock prices, web stats, key performance indicators, etc. We made it because we think that any data makes sense only when people can understand what it means. Explainum is like wiki for charts:
  • Build live charts from a set of data sources
  • Annotate spikes and dips right in charts, explain influencing factors that caused them. Post links to related news articles and blog posts
  • Embed charts with annotations into your blog, web site or wiki as a nice interactive widget
  The service is in beta-testing mode and is offered free of charge. And don't forget to take a look at our blog.
• Do you watch market or key indicators and explain trends to your audience or colleagues? Forget about drawing arrows on charts in Paint. With Explainum you can build and embed into your blog/website daily updated graphs to track stock quotes or currency rates, monitor your corporate key performance indicators or anything else you're interested in. Annotate data trends and discuss them right in the chart. Share your knowledge about influencing factors behind data trends with your customers, friends, colleagues and partners. Keep valuable knowledge and history in one place. Make it easy for everyone to answer the question "Why it happened?". This is what Explainum is made for.
• Do you collect important metrics on a daily basis and want to share them with wide audience? Contact us to get your custom data source at Explainum. Your customers would be able to use it to build charts with the data you provide by it, and embed these charts wherever they want.
• When creating a new chart or adding new series to existing chart you can choose from these currently available data sources:
  • Google Analytics
  • Google Finance
  • MSN Money
  • CSV file over HTTP (works nicely with Dropbox)
  • CSV file over FTP
  If you need other data sources or can supply data for custom data source on Explainum – let us know.
