Visualizing data is like photography. Instead of starting with a blank canvas, you manipulate the lens used to present the data from a certain angle. When the data is the social graph of 500 million people, there are a lot of lenses through which you can view it. One that piqued my curiosity was the locality of friendship. I was interested in seeing how geography and political borders affected where people lived relative to their friends. I wanted a visualization that would show which cities had a lot of friendships between them.

Last week I attended the Association of American Geographers Annual Conference and heard a talk by Robert Groves, Director of the US Census Bureau. Aside the impressiveness of the bureau’s work I was struck by how Groves conceived of visualisations as requiring either fast thinking or slow thinking. Fast thinking data visualisations offer a clear message without the need ... Finding ways to effectively map population data is a big issue in spatial data visualization.

Séduisantes, efficaces, directes, facilement partageables, les infographies (ou Dataviz) ont le vent en poupe en ce moment, dans la presse classique mais aussi sur le web. Lors de l'introduction du concept dans la langue française vers les années 1970, l'infographie désigne uniquement les graphismes, que l'on appelle alors « infographies » (mot valise exprimant l'idée d'information par le graphisme), destinés à mettre en images des informations généralement statiques au moyen de diagrammes, de cartes ou de schémas. Aujourd'hui, le concept d'infographie s'est élargi à tous les graphismes produits par des moyens numériques. Des médias comme lemonde.fr ou Owni en sont friands. Au-delà du sempiternel diagramme circulaire ou du tableau réservé à l'analyste, les infographies sont là pour dire des choses , rendre compréhensibles les chiffres et les enjeux qu'ils soulèvent et transmettre de l'information.

Data visualization and all things related continued its ascent this year with projects popping up all over the place. Some were good, and a lot were not so good. More than anything, I noticed a huge wave of big infographics this year. It was amusing at first, but then it kind of got out of hand when online education and insurance sites started to game the system. Although it's died down a lot ever since the new Digg launched. That's what stuck out in my mind initially as I thought about the top projects of the year.

2010 Music Website Heat Map
If you’re red-green color blind then this is going to hurt. Based on estimated traffic data from Compete , this visualization depicts web-based music consumption in the U.S. in 2010. Included are websites where music is streamed and/or downloaded. Due to accurate sample rate availability (and in the interest of sanity) websites with less than 100,000 monthly visits are omitted. The map is to scale. Larger map areas represent higher website traffic.
