Tagline: Data sharing & collaboration made easy. Buzzdata allows users to share data sources, either within their own private network or more publicly. This data can then be used with other data (mashups) or for visualizations, or analyzed by journalists/academics.

By Laura S. Quinn, Idealware, January 2012. Looks at a variety of software tools that can support program evaluation. Report includes a category on Analyzing and Displaying Your Measures, which might be most relevant. There are recommendations for report builders, tools that help create data visualizations, both quantitative and qualitative analysis tools, and dashboard recommendations.  Also reference to an organization called Innovation Network, which might be of interest.

Presented by the Knight Digital Media Center, these presentations are described as "multimedia and internet technology training workshops," on topics like Digital Storytelling ("How to tell stories with Data (Reallly)") and Web 2.0 Training ("Digital Visualization Strategy and Workflow" or "Data Visualization on a Budget"). While the workshops are geared to journalists, many of the lessons might be relevant to those in other public-facing fields as well.

By Hilary Davis in Library in the Leadpipe, November 11, 2009. This post is an exploration of how data visualization can help libraries make more informed decisions.

From About, "Datavisualization.ch is the premier news and knowledge resource for data visualization and infographics." There are all kinds of interesting features on their site, including Showcases (exemplary work), Tools, and useful Datasets.

On the topic of data visualization, this tool enables users to build a "visualization" of their resumes.

I think that this is an interesting idea, though I'm not sure that the few samples (created by employees) take the visualization concept far enough. I wonder if/how we could create a data visualization resume to reflect the 10-year experience of KPI.

Very interesting stats on education--check out Education 2.0, how technology enhanced learning, etc. Socrato! website

This site is both a blog/resource for those with an interest in data visualization and a gallery (see Visualizations link). Many interesting competitions are announced; the most recent is posted by the UN Human Development Report office; winners of this contest will be invited to an international UN conference in Brazil
