==== Abstract ====

Business Intelligence tools are used by professionals to obtain knowledge 
about their organization to make better decisions. One type of such BI tools 
use visualizations to make understandable and insightful images of the 
organization's databases, an example of which is MagnaView WebLive.
Although first time users see the value of such systems, field reports 
show that the tools can be used better. This presentation explores how these 
tools can be used better, and solves this issue by introducing a social 
component to the visualization BI tool. The design of the social component is 
explained, as well as the connection between social and visualization.
This design has been prototyped and user tested in a professional situation, 
and evaluation shows that this socialization seems promising.
