You’ve asked for it and we listened! Until recently, interactive visualizations on Many Eyes could only be viewed on the site itself. Today we’re launching the ability to embed an interactive visualization from Many Eyes into your own blog, personal webpage or any other page you think makes sense. For example, if I wanted to show beer consumption per capita in the US in an interactive map, I can do so right here in this blog (click the visualization to load the live version).
You can now use visualizations on Many Eyes in much the same way as you use videos from You Tube or images from Flickr. Visualizations can be embedded by clicking the ’share this’ link and copying an html snippet into your site’s HTML code. We provide two preset sizes, but you can set any custom size by modifying width and height parameters in the embedding code.
We are looking forward to seeing how you, our users, use this capability! So go ahead, upload your favorite data, create a visualization and show it on your site or blog. Here are a couple of inspirational samples to get you started:

First off, great work.
I just did an embed in Wordpress, but it didn’t like the single quotes in the snippet. When I changed the single quotes to double quotes, it worked fine.
