Designing Visualizations for Time-Based Data - Max Kiesler – Des

However, if you are trying to fit 400 data points into a 1024 x 726 screen you’ll quickly see how challenging time-base data can be. Currently, many interaction designers are turning to visualizations to overcome many of the issues associated with this form of data representation. Below you’ll find a list of some of the best time-based visualizations on the web. Please use the comments section of this post to let the community know of any useful resources I’ve left out.
