In a recent post I showed the Top 20 Individual Data Visualizations Mentioned on Twitter
and remarked that many of the most frequently mentioned twitter links were to collections of visualizations.
Shown below is a meta list of the top collection-type data visualization or infographic links.

Twitter centric twitters. Someone who studies tweets and reports their results in the same form.
At the recommendation of a New York Times blogger, http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/22/adding-controlled-serendipity-to-the-web, I have begun following @atul and @brainpicker on twitter, thus placing another nail in the coffin of traditional journalism.
So twitter is essentially the lead sentence of the lead paragraph of a news article, or, rather, the population of all the lead sentences in competition for the attention of the twitterati. So, logically, the next step in the deconstruction of journalism would be a lead paragraph publication service, collecting blips of, say, up to 700 characters. Squawk.com would be good, except it's owned by someone at spamgourmet.com which doesn't sound appetizing at all.
Hmm, lede.com is parked on an ad-farm, who's got a budget? -- rec -- On Sat, Jan 23, 2010 at 10:34 AM, Tom Johnson <[hidden email]> wrote: FYI ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org |

I've been trying to make the case for 15+ yrs that the ink-on-paper newspaper would become largely a tip sheet to the full and rich stories posted on the web.

The TimesSkimmer is a wonderful page! I've been going to nytimes.com for a long time. I also get their daily email. But I never heard of the Skimmer. I can't even find a link to it from their main page. How did you hear about it? Is there a direct link, or do you have to put in the URL?

If you go to the NYT homepage -- http://www.nytimes.com/ - look at the 3rd row from from the top and right below the link to "Last Update: 8:52 PM ET" There you will see the link to "Skimmer"

Thanks. Interestingly I had my NYTimes preferences set to Global edition. (It can be selected at the top of the sections on the far left.) The Global edition doesn't link to the Skimmer. I wonder why.
