"Many Eyes", is one of IBM'S alphaWorks Services, a collection of emerging software services from IBM research and development labs.
With Many Eyes, users can upload any data set, and use tools for visualizing and graphing. The visualisation options include country maps, line, stack, pie, and bar charts, block histograms, bubble diagrams, scatter plots, network diagrams etc.
There are also many existing data sets on the website, some of which are visualised, such as this chart showing on-time departures at American airports.
An example mentioned by Emiel Van Wegen is one produced by Stanford University with Yahoo! Research Labs and MIT. The paper is here. The authors developed a set of interactive visualisation tools and used them on 2.5 million Yahoo! user ratings of 9,276 music artists.
