New post over at TCSCBlog.com about how to create a Visio Web Drawing that is data-linked to a SharePoint list and published to SharePoint for web viewing. Below is an excerpt:

Visio Services in SharePoint Server 2010 is a service application that allows users to view Microsoft Visio Web Drawings (*.vdw) in a Web browser. This eliminates the need for Visio or Visio Viewer client applications installed on the user’s local computer. These Visio Web Drawings, along with Visio Services, can be connected to various data sources to enable refreshing and updating of data shapes.
