I visit dozens of sites everyday since 1998. Here is a handful selection that may be useful to you, organized in categories.
Data visualisation
- Information is Beautiful David Mc Candless is one of the big players in data visualisation – telling a story with data. Very accessible work, as he comes from a journalistic background (Wired, The Guardian).
- Infosthetics Andrew Vande Moere referencial blog on everything that visualises data. Amazing content gathered since 2005, updated every day. If you’re into data visualisation, make sure you subscribre to its RSS feed.
- Moritz Stefaner Moritz Stefaner is another big player in data visualisation : Stefaner produces amazing interactive graphics, usually out of very complex sets of data. Much more on the data art side than Mc Candless if you ask me. I’m a big fan of his work.
