WHOS BEATING THE S&P

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

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. A valuable resource and a great model for useful web infographics that self-update and can be used as a reference tool repeatedly.

Its great to see this type of work on the web, just as I was complaining that web news graphics had permanently devolved into slideshows and audio bytes.

Thomas P.M. Barnett’s view of the world

Monday, April 3rd, 2006

A handsome Eckert projected World Map depicts the locations of US military actions since 1990, drawing a correlation between these areas and socio-economic development. Mr. Barnett draws a ring around the US interventions and calls it “The Non-Integrating Gap”, and refers the rest of the world as the “Functioning Core”. Maybe its a bit of a stretch. At least for an infographic, it seems a bit editorialized.
