Thruthy: Visualizing the Diffusion of Information on Twitter
Truthy [indiana.edu] is a recently developed online system to analyze and visualize the diffusion of information on Twitter. It evaluates 1,000s of tweets an hour to identify new bursts of activity around specific topics and memes , to reveal when, where and how they emerged . For instance, Thruthy claims it can distinguish organically emerging grass-roots viral campaigns from those that forged (i.e.Impure: a New Visualization Programming Language for Non-Programmers
Impure [impure.com] is a new visual programming language aimed to gather, process and visualize information. Developed by Bestiario , a Spanish information design start-up, Impure aims to bridge the link between 'non-programmers' and data visualization by linking information to programmatic operators, controls and visualization methods through a new visual and modular interface. Impure allows the acquisition of information from different sources, ranging from user-specific data to popular online feeds, such as from social media, real-time financial information, news or search queries.
In a follow up to code_swarm , a visualization to show the development of software projects, Michael Ogawa has another look with Software Evolution Storylines : My previous software visualization experiment, code_swarm, turned out pretty good. But some wanted a more analytic view of the data — one that was more persistent.

Beautiful Visualization - Google Preview - O'Reilly Media
Visualization is the graphic presentation of data -- portrayals meant to reveal complex information at a glance. Think of the familiar map of the New York City subway system, or a diagram of the human brain. Successful visualizations are beautiful not only for their aesthetic design, but also for elegant layers of detail that efficiently generate insight and new understanding. This book examines the methods of two dozen visualization experts who approach their projects from a variety of perspectives -- as artists, designers, commentators, scientists, analysts, statisticians, and more.

Welcome to NodeBox NodeBox is a Mac OS X application that lets you create 2D visuals (static, animated or interactive) using Python programming code and export them as a PDF or a QuickTime movie.This first trailer for The Adventures of Tintin doesn't give us a lot of the plot, nor does it give us much of a look at its possibly-nightmarishly-reanimated-looking, motion-capture characters. But, like the posters that debuted yesterday , there is one thing it is so, so rich with: CGI BOATS, both big and small! It's like bathtime for your eyes! Looks like The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will be following in the Spider-Man 3 tradition of too many villains and the use of Sideways as a rogues gallery.... / Continue → Is this guy a nerd or what?

Living Code: The importance of visual programming
Python has a well-earned reputation for being easy to use and to learn, at least for people who have learned programming in other languages first.What is Babuino? Babuino is a software program that combines the power of the Arduino hardware platform with the intuitive and fun Logo programming language using a click and drag GUI interface. This allows even young children to build their own programs and run them on a microcontroller. The program on the left uses only 5 blocks to make a speaker beep whenever a button is pressed. Any child that can operate a mouse, fit simple puzzle pieces together, and has basic language skills can learn to program. Even if the child can't read, they will quickly learn to recognize the words and shapes.
