Over the last couple of months we’ve looked at data visualization concepts for several of our clients. Once you get past the tremendously geeky and functional title (hence intercourse vs sex, ok yeah I just wanted a more sensational title), show them something like We Feel Fine you see them get it. Something extremely appealing and alluring in putting your faith in the data, whether it be conversation about your brand or linked to market habits that is just too cool to ignore.
So I guess I’ve had a predisposition to notice links and articles on the subject. Over night I’ve seen a fair few mentioned across my twitter followers so thought I’d pull them together in one post.
