To take a decision, your brain uses 10% of what it heard, 20% of what it read and 80% of what it saw. To make an effective decision, scientists tell us that it is more efficient to send the information to your brain as visually as possible. This is what BeGraphic does by bringing better visualization for your reports and presentations.Tableau Brings Data Vis to Hadoop
Through a partnership with Cloudera, Tableau Software has built a Hadoop connector for doing big data visualization. The new connector uses Hive to collect data across distributed nodes. That data is then pulled into Tableau for visualization. Tableau’s data engine processes the information that is piped in from Hadoop. Data can be pulled in as an aggregate or as a subset for analysis.

information graphics are visual representations of information , data or knowledge. These graphics are mostly used where complex information need a simple explanation, such as in signs, maps, journalism, technical writing, and education. thus tools are mostly use by computer scientists, mathematicians, and statisticians to ease the process of developing and communicating conceptual information. — Wikipedia GeoGebra is free and multi-platform dynamic mathematics software for all levels of education that joins arithmetic, geometry, algebra and calculus. It offers multiple representations of objects in its graphics, algebra, and spreadsheet views that are all dynamically linked. It allows you to directly enter and manipulate equations and coordinates. Thus you can easily plot functions, work with sliders to investigate parameters, find symbolic derivatives, and use powerful commands like Root or Sequence.

Weave, now Open Source
With more and more civic data becoming available and accessible, the challenge grows for policy makers and citizens to leverage that data for better decision-making. It is often difficult to understand context and perform analysis. “Weave” , however, helps. A web-based data visualization tool, Weave enables users to explore, analyze, visualize and disseminate data online from any location at any time. We saw tremendous potential in the platform and have been helping open-source the software, advising on community engagement strategy and licensing. This week, we were excited to see the soft launch of the Weave 1.0 Beta, which went open-source on Wednesday, June 15.
