Pie Chart using Zoho Reports
Seth Godin had a blog post about an article in The New York Times. And how the graphs in the NYT article didn't show the correct picture. He's right. What I found interesting was a pie chart for customer reviews in Amazon for J D Salinger's 'The Catcher in the Rye' that Seth had posted. Tried improvising that graph a bit using Zoho Reports.
The pie divisions have their respective labels. And mousing over / clicking on each pie makes the chart interactive too - you can see the actual number of users who have rated each of the stars. Hope this adds value to having static images.
ps: Trying to make pie charts of customer reviews as a whole for the Kindle, the iPhone/iPod or books like 'The Catcher in the Rye' may be futile. They are huge success stories no matter how many 1 star ratings they receive.
