Digg Oracle The Digg Oracle is a Google Gears tool that indexes your Digg history and allows you to sort, search, and filter stories you have voted on in the past. It uses a local SQLite database to store and parse the data, so after a one-time sync with Digg's servers, the tool does not have to connect to the internet to perform the searching. Venn Friends Type in your Digg user name, and you will see a Venn Diagram of your friends and fans. Wheel of Upcoming Stories The Wheel of Upcoming Stories is a Flash visualization of recently submitted Digg stories. Digg Heat Map The Digg Heat Map was based on the same data as my previous maps of the Digg community.

Visualisation Insights: #1 The visualisation designer
This post is the first in a series I am commencing called Visualisation Insights. The purpose of this series is to provide readers with unique insights into the field of visualisation from the different perspectives of those in the roles of designer, practitioner, academic, blogger, journalist and all sorts of other visual thinkers. My aim is to bring together these interviews to create a greater understanding and appreciation of the challenges, approaches and solutions that exist in the worlds of this collection of people – the visualisation field’s ‘cast and crew’. The World Cup is now but a distant memory to most of us, unless you happen to come from Spain of course, but one of the key aspects of the tournament from point of view was the array of innovative infographics and visualisation devices used by media organisations and websites to enhance their coverage (see my collections part 1, part 2 and part 3).
