Information overload is a problem that increasingly affects every business and every person in this room. Whether its about engaging thousands of users, trying to make sense of social media, or if its just trying to get through all your emails in a single day! ,
This problem is not going away. The rate at which information is produced is expanding daily. We need tools to help us cope with an exponentially increasing problem.
Existing solutions are either too basic to help, are so complicated and time consuming that only experts can use them, or are so expensive that only large companies can afford them.
MetaLayer solves this problem by allowing users to visually summarize information & by prioritizing relevant content with our intuitive Dashboard product. We help users separate signals from noise by making the technologies that are used to solve information overload problems easy to use.

MetaLayer, a startup that helps you make visualizations from complex sets of data, has launched a new data community for people to share visualizations they’ve made with its service.

“We want to do to data analysis what Apple has done to computers: Make data so intuitive that anyone can gather insights from tons of data,” said Metalayer Chief executive Chris Burrage in an interview with VentureBeat.

MetaLayer helps you gather insights and make visualizations, also known as infographics, from massive amounts of data on the web. The company has poised itself as the “Photoshop of data,” mainly because you can drag and drop sets of data onto one another to help make sense of datasets with graphs and diagrams, much like adding layers to a Photoshop image. You can import pictures, statistical figures, Twitter feeds, documents, and news feeds into MetaLayer’s dashboard and then analyze them for trends or other insights. Metalayer aims its service at data analysts, non-profits, and journalists who may not have the immense knowledge needed to analyze huge amounts of data, nor the money to pay for a robust system to do it for them.
