Visualizing Bloodtests. We were happy to win a design competition in Wired US this month. It was around re-envisioning medical data. Specifically, blood test results. Which suck, design-wise. They still look like secret missives from the CIA circa 1965. Yet their contents are vitally – perhaps mortally – important. Our challenge was to approach a cholesterol level test. Then we designed it thus: Our goal wasn’t just a polish job. See a hi-res version here. (The image is creative commons. Great work too from Mucca Design and Jung Und Wenig. IBM Smarter Planet - Healthcare. Radicalcartography. We Feel Fine / Movements.
Movements We Feel Fine is divided into six discrete movements, each illuminating a different aspect of the chosen population. These movements are represented in the We Feel Fine applet. To navigate between movements in the applet, the viewer should scroll over the heart at the bottom left corner of the applet and click on the desired movement. Madness, the first movement, opens with a wildly swarming mass of around 1,500 particles, emanating from the center of the screen and then careening outwards, bouncing off walls and reacting to the behavior of the mouse. Each particle represents a single feeling, posted by a single individual. The color of each particle corresponds to the tone of the feeling inside – happy positive feelings are bright yellow, sad negative feelings are dark blue, angry feelings are bright red, calm feelings are pale green, and so on. The size of each particle represents the length of the sentence contained within.

Before we acquired Digg, we launched products for email, iPad, and iPhone out of a startup called News.me. Digg was originally founded in 2004, but in the summer of 2012, we rebuilt it from scratch in six weeks. With special thanks to… We also want to give a very special thanks to our friends at betaworks and the broader NYC community for lending a hand — or several — during the Digg relaunch.

Wrapping your brain around data online can be challenging, especially when dealing with huge volumes of information. And trying to find related content can also be difficult, depending on what data you’re looking for. But data visualizations can make all of that much easier, allowing you to see the concepts that you’re learning about in a more interesting, and often more useful manner.
Below are 50 of the best data visualizations and tools for creating your own visualizations out there, covering everything from Digg activity to network connectivity to what’s currently happening on Twitter. Music, Movies and Other Media Narratives 2.0 visualizes music. Different music tracks are segmented into single channels that are then shown in a fan-like structure. Liveplasma is a music and movie visualization app that aims to help you discover other musicians or movies you might enjoy. Tuneglue is another music visualization service. Digg, Twitter, Delicious, and Flickr Internet Visualizations. 5 Best Data Visualization Projects of the Year – 2009. It was a huge year for data. There's no denying it. Data is about to explode. Applications sprung up left and right that help you understand your data - your Web traffic, your finances, and your life. There are now online marketplaces that sell data as files or via API.
Data.gov launched to provide the public with usable, machine-readable data on a national scale. State and local governments followed, and data availability expands every day. At the same time, there are now tons of tools that you can use to visualize your data. It's exciting times for data, indeed. Data has been declared sexy, and the rise of the data scientist is here. With all the new projects this year, it was hard to filter down to the best, but here they are: two honorable mentions and the five best data visualization projects of 2009.
Honorable Mention: MTV VMA Tweet Tracker The MTV VMA Tweet Tracker, a glorified bubble chart from Stamen Design and Radian6, showed the buzz on Twitter over the MTV VMAs. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Archive.

Visualization is a technique to graphically represent sets of data.
When data is large or abstract, visualization can help make the data easier to read or understand. There are visualization tools for search, music, networks, online communities, and almost anything else you can think of. Whether you want a desktop application or a web-based tool, there are many specific tools are available on the web that let you visualize all kinds of data. Here are some of the best: Visualize Social Networks Last.Forward: Thanks to Last.fm's new widget gallery, you can now explore a wide selection of extras to extend your Last.fm experience. The gallery hosts widgets for your desktop, for the web, for social networks, and much more. Last Forward Friends Sociomap: Friends Sociomap is another Last.fm tools that generates a map of the music compatibility between you and your Last.fm friends. Fidg't: Fidg't is a desktop application that gives you a way to view your networks tagging habits. Fidg't YouTube: Data. Elastic lists. Background: Facet Browsing Facet browsers make different aspects of the underlying data accessible in parallel.
Selecting one of the metadata values, and thus filtering the result set, restricts the available metadata values only to those occurring in the results. Consequently, the user is visually guided through an iterative process of query refinement and expansion, never encountering situations with zero results. Facet browsing applications impose no restrictions, in which order, or in which granularity filters are applied on a result set. This equal treatment of multiple dimensions differs from, e.g. typical web site structures or file systems, where a single taxonomy is the pre–dominant organization principle, and other metadata are only supplements for sorting or filtering. Additionally, it is a common pattern to visualize the number of occurrences of a concept in the given focus. Elastic Lists Visualize weight proportions Emphasize characteristic values Animated transitions Sparklines.
