Infoporn

I like information and I'm a very visual person. One of my favorite sections of any Wired magazine is the couple pages dubbed "infoporn" which display some sort of statistical information in a creative and potentially impactful way.

Bar and Pie charts just don't cut it anymore.

I recently stumbled across a site that will give me my pretty data fix whenever I need it. Enter infosthetics.com, a blog dedicated to data visualization and visual design, that scours the nets for interesting infographics.

See links to things represented like:

Gas price by county


An average american's spending habits


Or videos visualizing Greenhouse Gas production



Or the romantic aspirations of thousands of online daters.



See things in different ways.
