WHOS BEATING THE S&P
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.
