The art of data visualization

http://flowingdata.com/ FlowingData A period of unrest can provoke many untruths, an analysis of 2.6 million tweets suggests. But Twitter is adept at correcting misinformation - particularly if the claim is that a tiger is on the loose in Primrose Hill. Other rumors include when rioters cooked their own food at McDonald's (false), London Eye was set on fire (false), and Miss Selfridge was set on fire (true).

It exists as masterful art pieces and amazingly useful analysis tools. In both cases though it brings data -- which is oftentimes cryptic -- to the masses and shows that data is more than a bucket of numbers. by nicolas Aug 22

37 Data-ish Blogs You might not know it, but there are actually a ton of data and visualization blogs out there. I'm a bit of a feed addict subscribing to just about anything with a chart or a mention of statistics on it (and naturally have to do some feed-cleaning every now and then). In a follow up to my short list last year, here are the data-ish blogs, some old and some new, that continue to post interesting stuff.

I am amazed by it too. Looking for some inspiration and ideas of how I could visualise our project. by kurhouesaz Feb 1

頑張ればお店の店員さんとでも、素敵な出会いになりますよ。そんなお店で働いてる人との出会いをどう上手く持って行けば良いのか、教えてますよ。 どんな素敵なシチュエーションがあるのか？ しかしみんな普段から「出会いがない出会いがない」って言ってる人が多いですが、いつも行ってるお店の店員さんの事とかをちゃんと考えて欲しいのです。 女性って本当にロマンチックな人が多くて、「こんな風に素敵な男性と出会って、付き合いたい」って思ってるもんです。 Visualizing Music http://visualizingmusic.com/

This is great. Gave me a good laugh, not to demean the hard work and artmanship of the picture. I dig that too. Very nice. by aztec423 Jan 5

It tells a story without appealing directly to the data. I see only 7x2 = 14 numbers on the chart, all embedded into the legend / scale . So many charts of this type send readers immediately into a twister by bombarding our eyes with data. In the middle of the chart, for instance, states like MD and MA contrast with states like MI and MS. Poorer people are in the yellow segments while richer people are in the greener segments. http://junkcharts.typepad.com/ Junk Charts
