Recently, Google announced its new service Google Fusion Tables that will allow you to visualize large sets of tabular data. Unlike Google Spreadsheets, you can upload large tables of up to 100MB in size.
According to the FAQ
The goal of Fusion Tables, as with other database systems, is to manage larger amounts of data than spreadsheets typically do. This size difference leads to a focus on a different set of functionalities. For example, Fusion Tables focuses more on bulk operations on the data (filtering, aggregation, merges). These operations are typically not necessary for smaller collections of data stored in spreadsheets. In contrast, spreadsheets preserve complete flexibility in managing data — you can put any value you want in any cell and work carefully to format your spreadsheet to make it look nice.
You can upload your spreadsheets or create a new one very easily. You can also access your existing spreadsheets from Google Spreadsheets to Google Fusion Tables. There are a number of sample spreadsheets with which you can test the capabilities of this new service. There are many options to visualize the data: on a map or intensity map, using lines, bars, pies, scatter plots, motion charts or on a timeline.
It has a number of in-built collaboration features such as you can invite people as viewers, contributors, collaborators or owners. Anyone who is invited can add comments to a cell or a column.
