Pocket-Lint has an interview with Tableau CEO and co-founder Christian Chabot about the direction of the company, and how they are trying to carve their niche out of the new web2.0 data visualization boom.

Analytics and stats might sound dull unless you’re an accountant, but to Chabot, if done right, they are about empowering us to understand more.

“We are trying to create a category for data blogging,” says Chabot, hoping to change the world through the medium of numbers. “Data is just another content type. We’re trying to be the YouTube for data.”
