China. Social media in China. Evolution of Dance - By Judson Laipply. Every river system mapped in World of Rivers. The annual Malofiej awards, for top graphics in journalism, were handed out last week. The best map of 2010 went to National Geographic for the World of Rivers. Every river system in the world was mapped and scaled by annual discharge. We live on a planet covered by water, but more than 97 percent is salty, and nearly 2 percent is locked up in snow and ice. That leaves less than one percent to grow our crops, cool our power plants, and supply drinking and bathing water for households.
Showing everything doesn't always work with so much data, but it does in this case. It reminds me of Ben Fry's All Streets. See the full-sized interactive version on National Geographic. Also, congratulations to National Geographic for winning the Peter Sullivan award (best in show) for their map of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and The New York Times for their work on how Mariano Rivera dominates, print and online, respectively.
[Society for News Design] Doctor Who: Every single journey through time detailed detailed by Information is Beautiful. As a spreadsheet | Television & radio. Doctor Who time travels of the Doctor: Information is Beautiful gets the data - what can you do? Illustration: David McCandless for the Guardian Last year, I created a visualisation of Time travel in TV & Films. You know. Star Trek, Back To The Future, Planet Of The Apes etc. I deliberately left out Doctor Who. All the time, though, I really wanted to do a mega-visualisation of all of the Time Lord's journeys. I like Doctor Who. A stream of people came forward - programmers, researchers, fans (even a few people who sent pictures of themselves in floppy hats and homemade sonic screwdrivers) Here is the fruit of our labour - a list of every single journey through time made by the doctor, featuring start year, end year, and location.

A novel map of the internet created by Marián Boguñá and colleagues at the University of Barcelona, Spain, could help make network glitches a thing of the past. Boguñá squeezed the entire network into a disc using hyperbolic geometry, more familiar to us through the circular mosaic-like artworks of M. C. Escher. Each square on the map is an "autonomous system" – a section of the network managed by a single body such as a national government or a service provider. The most well-connected systems are close to the centre, while the least connected are at the edges.
The area of the hyperbolic plane grows exponentially with distance from the centre, so the edges of the map are "roomier" than the middle. Like all good cartographers, Boguñá's team hopes their map will help speed up navigation. Network coordinates Boguñá's map could do away with all this by providing "coordinates" for every system on the network.
