Spectrum of Apple Flavors

This is probably one of the more fun radial graphs I've ever seen. Although the information doesn't have to be portrayed in this manner and could convey the message just as well in table form, I don't think the radial design detracts from the overall infographic at all.

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.

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.
