Just wondering when we’re going to see some of the graphs that folks have submitted… Looking forward to checking them out.

Whoops. Looks like I typed the word, “country” instead of “continent” or “region.” I’m no Sarah Palin, but everyone makes a mistake now and then. The title of the graph has been corrected on the Swivel website.

I look forward to seeing how the Flowing Data readers can improve the graph. May the best visualization win. :)

I recently checked Visual Explanations out of my school’s library, and I would love to own it.
But, I just won the Good Magazine contest and now I feel greedy.

@ftr – there is a way… but i can’t find it right now. I can tell you this though – the best graph won’t be made in Swivel

@Steve – Good question (hint)

@Teri – I could give it to the worst, but that doesn’t seem all that right either. By the way, you have all of this week to enter, so don’t let that hold you back

Not to quibble, but it strikes me as a little backwards that the person who submits the *best* visual representation will get the books; I’d have thought a person with less knowledge or experience with visual representation would be a better choice for such foundational masterpieces.

(And while I’d love to enter, I unfortunately have too much I need to accomplish today! Best of luck to those who enter, though!)
