We've long been fans of Swivel, a service that lets users upload, manipulate, chart and share data. Our first post about them, in 2006, was titled Swivel Aims To Become The Internet Archive For Data. But with their newly launched groups feature, Swivel can now be the data archive and metrics dashboard for the enterprise, too.

Before groups data uploads were either private (in draft mode) or public. A big use for Swivel was embedded charts of publicly available data, particularly for press and media (we've used Swivel charts often).

With the new groups feature, data can be shared among small groups of people, like office documents in Google docs.

Integration with Intuit Quickbooks is coming soon.
