Tweet Maps of 4 Cities
Ahh, I do love me some interactive maps. These maps of the distribution of mobile tweets that included location tags in 4 different cities are cool, but I kind of wish I could see the data overlaid on physical maps of the layout of the city, rather than the boroughs merely being indicated by a point. See all four cities here!

Infographics Make Learning More Interesting
At least that's what Education Web Design thinks, and I totally agree! :) "By definition, an Infographic is 'an Information graphic – a visual representation of data.' When you have complex statistics and data, how else are you going to give it that mass appeal that new media companies are striving for?"While it's rather sparse on text, I do love the cleanliness of the above infographic they featured.

Beautiful Infographics
I was Web surfing during a quick work break today and came across these beautiful infographics generated by Well Formed Eigenfactor, which creates interactive visualizations based on Eigenfactor Metrics. Absolutely gorgeous....

The History of Human Communication
Specifically, long-distance communication via technology, and not communication powered by humans and animals trekking long distance to deliver written messages or to speak to your in person. I'm quite surprised the tin can and a string trick wasn't discovered until 1810. Anyways, super fun, super clean. Overall, well done, even if it is a promotional infographic for Google Voice.

Self-Deprecating Infographic
Another one! I just can't get enough of these, because they're so funny and yet so true! Infographic Showcase has an even larger version so you can see the whole thing in all its snarky glory.
