FlowingData is On CNN – A new way of looking at the world

Nov 2, 2009

Just a quick note. There’s an article up on CNN right now by Manav Tanneeru about the growth of visualization: A new way of looking at the world.

There’s a blurb in there about your.flowingdata, but mainly read it for the other sources. There’s some nice tidbits from Martin Wattenberg, Ben Fry, et. al. Thanks, Manav for including me.
