pretty cool.. and a wonderful time waster/procrastinator when you actually need to be working on something else. enjoy
excellent article about design and 'user-friendliness' and 'intuitive' u interface. So glad someone's said it!
in list: Mine!
another heated debate (in the comments) about the merits of art and eye candy in data visualisations. fascinating and worthwhile if at all interested in this area.
Excellent article on data visualisation as entertainment as perpetrated by infographics by people more artistic than analytical: "McCandless is a creator of infographics: combinations of words and graphics that are designed to communicate specific messages. On those rare occasions when his infographics lend themselves to data exploration and analysis, they do so in limited and awkward ways, asking viewers to perform data surgery with blunt instruments. Infographics of this type attempt to tell a story. In McCandless’ case, the stories that they usually tell, if communicated in words alone, would require only a short sentence or two. They make a simple statement in a way that looks lighthearted and fun. As such, they invite viewers to accept the message superficially, not to explore or contemplate deeply. This is not the true realm of analytics."
some good quotes in there, especially the ones on design...
