The negative comments are not helpful, and the tone of the comments even less so.Why so much venom?

I design visuals for learning, and this technique has its place in instruction if nowhere else. But I think it will be useful other places as well. Thanks for sharing a great idea.

Where can I find more like it?

The element chart was absolutely useless, because the data itself made practically no sense. The hair color graphic showed some promise, because there is a genuine concept of flow present there. However, the seemingly arbitrary ordering of segments and coloring of ribbons ruined it all for me.
Either present the segments in the order they are in the data, or interleave columns and rows. The color should be determined by the data, not by its processing order – ideally, color ribbons to match the greater segment.

In general, I would say that this is a pointless graph for most tabular data, but could become useful for relational, square tables if the issues with color and placement are concentrated on. An interactive version could also be interesting, allowing one to highlight segments of interest.

[...] One interesting source of words used in economics blogs, is Leigh Caldwell’s weeklyÂ wordleÂ on Knowing and Making blog. A must-read in my opinionÂ is also Catherine Mulbrandon’sÂ thesisÂ on Visualizing Economics, which looks at how financial data has been presented and how it can potentially show misleading ideas because of how, what and where it has been presented (mostly looking at graphics not words). You also don’t need to be an economics, maths, scientific expert to understand most of what she has written, which is wonderful ! Also the recent flowingdata post on creating Â tables. [...]

That’s really interesting. The tables takes some getting used to though :)
