Just because I think Google tools are cool...

A marriage of google and BI...not bad. I'll link here to Mark's blog to let you see what I mean.

This is a great representation of a nice tool with some 'oopmh!' (Is that a word?) I expect Google to grow more powerful in this space. We'll see. I'll be watching.
