Give me 31 Days and I’ll Give You a Better Blog Hi there – it’s Darren Rowse from ProBlogger here.

Information Visualization Manifesto
Posted: August 30th, 2009 | Author: Manuel Lima | Filed under: Uncategorized | – “The purpose of visualization is insight, not pictures” Ben Shneiderman (1999) – Over the past few months I’ve been talking with many people passionate about Information Visualization who share a sense of saturation over a growing number of frivolous projects. The criticism is slightly different from person to person, but it usually goes along these lines: “It’s just visualization for the sake of visualization”, “It’s just eye-candy”, “They all look the same”. When Martin Wattenberg and Fernanda Viégas wrote about Vernacular Visualization, in their excellent article on the July-August 2008 edition of interactions magazine, they observed how the last couple of years have witnessed the tipping point of a field that used to be locked away in its academic vault, far from the public eye. Even though a clear divide is necessary, it doesn’t mean that Information Visualization and Information Art cannot coexist.

Mark Zuckerberg in 2012 with all the features Facebook has added. In 2008, Mark Zuckerberg laid out his theory about people sharing content on Facebook. "I would expect that next year, people will share twice as much information as they share this year, and [the] next year, they will be sharing twice as much as they did the year before," he said. The New York Times called it "Zuckerberg's Law," a playful homage to Moore's Law, named after Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, who said, "The number of transistors incorporated in a chip will approximately double every 24 months." In 2011, Zuckerberg reiterated his theory on sharing, saying that it was still growing at an exponential rate. Recent Articles From Business Insider And Zuckerberg is right about that. But the exponential growth of sharing may not, actually, be helping Facebook. Specifically, Facebook is now trying to cram so much "sharing" through a single service that it is overwhelming many of its core users.
