Some Infographic Fun

I'm on the look-out for great data visualisation tools - I love data and clever data visualisations but my modest Photoshop skills don't really cut it when it comes to turning interesting data in to engaging data-visualisations.

My first port-of-call is Visual.ly - A tool that automatically creates infographics based on your social media presence. They say:

"Visualizations are powerful, but they’ve required time and hard work to create -- until now. You no longer need expensive software, extensive design skills, or number crunching ability. We’re building a tool that will allow everyone to quickly and easily create professional quality designs with their own data. And when you’re ready to show your work to the world, publish it on your Visual.ly profile, your own personal showcase."

The infographic below represents my Twitter presence. Clearly some of the data has not been pulled in properly, and that's a shame, but for a free tool that takes a few moments to create an infographic, it ain't half bad.
