As we speak to more and more people, we have discovered that Weaves can be applied in many situations. As part of a new series of Weaves, we will be building a wide variety of demonstrations to illustrate what we can do.
The Senate Weave was built using data from Wikipedia and give some insight into the people who make laws in America.
We collected data on senators' ages, when they arrived in to office, their family sizes, contact information and party.

We'd love to hear from you and get your suggestions and feedback on how we can make this Weave better and also what data we can use to create other interesting Weaves.
Some ideas we had:
- Great American Generals
- US Presidents
- Kings & Queens of England
- Illinois Public Servants
- The Worlds 100 Richest people
- The Worlds 100 most influential people
- TED speakers
- The 100 oldest people
- US Congress
- Hall of Famers
- 100 most infamous criminals
Let us know in the comments if you'd like to see these or any other Weaves. We look forward to hearing from you!
