Data and visualization

I'm still on my data visualization and information overload kick (I'm currently in Lisbon...and will be presenting on this theme to IADIS conference tomorrow). Jon Udell highlights the importance of open data - OECD has significant data available and UN recently released its common database. When data is open, we can mix, remix, contrast, extend, and use it in limitless ways. Hans Rosling delivered two amazing talks displaying the power of visualizing data in 2006 and 2007. Powerful stuff.
