Using Plotly, you can graph and share data. Let's suppose that a journalist, social scientist, or data scientist was interested in getting a snapshot of what government data is available for consumption. The questions they might have are:
*What * What types of datasets are available (raw, geodata, and data tools)?
*Which * Which government agencies contribute the most datasets, and of what type?
*Which * Which government subagencies contribute the most data to data.gov?
To answer this question, we could Google around a bit, and then find a [Data.gov Federal Agency Participation](https://explore.data.gov/dataset/Data-gov-Federal-Agency-Participation/aubg-mfc9) dataset. To find these answers in a grid, we would need to search through the grid column by column to find answers to these questions. Then, to communicate those answers, we could need to type up an answer, email it out with links and screenshots.
