NYT flash graphic uses real-time data to track companies and industries compared to the Standard & Poor’s Index. One of the most effective uses of a scatterplot I’ve seen (even better than this chart’s debut in the CEO compensation graphic) and some daunting actionscripting to say the least.

At least for an infographic, it seems a bit editorialized.
