Do you have any suggestions for better representations of that data?

All of the raw is available via: http://www.wheredoesmymoneygo.org/data/ But how that get integrates in is a another question. We're working on backend "store" interface for the data but for the prototype we are focusing (out of the necessity) on the visualization side of things. > * There are a lot of opportunities to add tooltips with additional > information (such as amounts, etc.) on mouse over. What kind of information would you like added and where? > Hope this is of help, and that you don't get me wrong - this is a great start! Thanks, and this kind of feedback is great so thanks a lot for sending it through Hjalmar.
