God I love informationisbeautiful.net! It had me up ’til 2 in the morning! Oooh late, yeah yeah I know but you don’t understand how hard it is for me to wake up early! [note to self: 3 exclamation points in-a-row is not a good look] Below is a visualization of the Twitter community if it was 100 people(as of August 14th, 2009).

I spend too much time on the interwebs. A good chunk of it is for business, but the bigger chunk is for pleasure. Much of it is time wasted and one of those time-wasting-trivia-knowledge-building websites is informationisbeautiful.net. It’s compiled, designed & developed by David McCandless, a data & visual journalist. In his words the site is “visualising information – facts, data, ideas, subjects, issues, statistics, questions – all with the minimum of words. I’m interested in how designed information can help us understand the world, cut through BS and reveal hidden connections, patterns and stories underneath…“ Well with a minimum amount of words… it is uber-cool sh!t!
