5 data visualization webs you can't miss
We are in the age of data and more and more people around the world are trying to visualize it. This is my compilation of 5 interesting webs about infographics and data visualization that you should visit.
Datavisualization.ch
This website is published by a Swiss studio called Interactive Things. The blog is not updated regularly but when they do it's for publishing really unique pieces.
But the most interesting thing about this site is their fantastic compilation of tools to create maps, charts and other ways of visualizing your data.
I strongly recommend spend some time playing with them because you can make really cool stuff even without coding.

Visual.ly
I really love this one. Firstly, I think that the design of the website is very neat, trendy and well organized. It might be surprising but I've seen some blogs about data visualization that look awful.
Secondly, Visual.ly is not just a website about infographics, it's also a community. You can upload your own designs, comment on other people's projects and even contact employers at the “Marketplace”
This is a huge project that has already raised $2 Million from different investors and partnered up with media companies like CNNMoney or The Wall Street Journal to provide infographics and data visualizations solutions.
Information is Beautiful
This blog is published by David McCandless, a british data journalist and information designer with a lot of experience in the media and that makes very inspirational visualizations.
If you need ideas visit this site and look what he is doing! It's not plagiarism, everything is a remix!
Visualizing.org
One of my favorites. Like visual.ly, this site is a community. You can upload your designs, contact with other people and explore what others are doing.
But what it makes the difference is that they also organize challenges. If a new and juicy dataset is released, they will organize a contest to find the best way of visualize it. Have a look to the dataset about education they propose to work with!
Information Aesthetics
This blog is really good to see what others are doing. It is published by Andrew Vande Moere, an associate professor at KU Leuven university in Belgium and it's not about proper infographics but real data visualization and creative design.
These are my choices. What are yours?
Datavisualization.ch Selected Tools is a collection of tools that we, the people behind Datavisualization.ch, work with on a daily basis and recommend warmly. This is not a list of everything out there, but instead a thoughtfully curated selection of our favourite tools that will make your life easier creating meaningful and beautiful data visualizations
Ghost Counties
Earlier this year, Visualizing.org and Eyeo made an open call for designers and developers to create an interactive portrait of America by visualizing the 2010 census data. Jan Willem Tulp, a freelance information visualizer based in The Netherlands has recently published his submission for the competition called Ghost Counties. The visualization, developed in Processing, analyzes the numbers of homes and vacant homes in proportion to the population of all counties in the United States of America.
Open Data Challenge
European public bodies produce thousands upon thousands of datasets every year – about everything from how our tax money is spent to the quality of the air we breathe. With the Open Data Challenge, the Open Knowledge Foundation and the Open Forum Academy are challenging designers, developers, journalists and researchers to come up with something useful, valuable or interesting using open public data.
Everybody from the EU can submit an idea, app, visualization or dataset to the competition between 5th April and 5th June. The winners will be announced in mid June at the European Digital Assembly in Brussels. A total of €20,000 in prizes could be another motivator if you’re undecided yet.
