Bitly’s Matt LeMay’s talk at Monki Gras: Kitteh vs Chickin: How What We Share is Different from What we Click. Matt LeMay (bitly).

I believe the talk is pretty interesting in terms of ephemeral and permanent perception of data. Most probably we don’t really want to keep all the data that we produced on online platforms forever. Therefore how we can separate the ephemeral and archival data from each other? That’s a good question to address to people deal with data.

Additionally the phenomenon about online identity management is very well represented in the talk. People show, share and act in very different ways on online platforms (they try to do the same in real life, too but in real life it’s not so easy to ‘hide’ yourself). I am curious whether this double-faced online behaviors would cause any particular problem or sickness in the society.

Eric Fischer brings a new twitter mapping style and asks: “Is this the structure of New York City?” Data on the map is from the Twitter streaming API (10000 points, 30000 vectors). Base map from OpenStreetMap. You can see more cities in here.

The Atlas of Economic Complexity: Mapping Paths yo Prosperity published by Harvard and MIT is a great source for ‘Economic Complexity’ index of the world. It is particulary good if you want to see the economies with a different perspective besides GDPs and Growth Rates.

“The first dimension represents candidates’ overall ideological positioning from left to right, relative to other Republicans. (In this context, “left” means moderate or center-right, while “right” means quite conservative.) The second dimension, which runs from the top to bottom of the chart, is what I call the insider/outsider or the establishment/insurgent axis. It has do to, in essence, with whether the candidate is running a grass-roots campaign that argues against entrenched interests or is trying to use those interests (like access to money and favorable media coverage and endorsements from influential party officials) to their advantage.” Good and deep analysis about G.O.P. Candidates by Nate Silver.

Intel Computer Visualization Pitch by Ben Cline. The design looks very detailed, well thought and cool. But it raised some questions in my mind. Is it better to have all these fine details? Are they helpful to perceive the visualization in any better? or are all these details reducing the ink/information ratio? Maybe we need more examples of high-end, fine detailed visualizations like this to able to answer all these questions?
