A cool interactive thing about the history of web browsers.  This sort of thing is obviously too complicated to do on our presentations, but it's a cool design and several salient design features can be gleaned from it.

anyqs How did they calculate the percentage? As far as I know there is no accurate way to determine exactly the percentage the market share of browser. So, I want to know their standards on their way of counting. Besides that, what does the empty space represent? Moreover, do they include all kinds of devices (laptop, phones, TVs, desktop, ...etc) or just laptops? And if so, how did they distinguish between them in their study? :)

What happened to AOL? What did they do wrong???

anyqs I would like to see the more information on how they collected this data and what it applies to. As James said, mobile browsers are distinguishable from others (from something called the User Agent in the browser), but I could go into my Opera browser on my Android and change the User Agent to 'desktop' and trick the website into thinking that a desktop viewed it. I would imagine that if w3 were to pull from their website, it would be heavily biased towards non-mobile browsers, as people would prefer to learn on a more comfortable screen.

I was planning on bookmarking just one of these, but this page has a list of seriously cool and diverse data visualizations ranging from interconnectivity of the web to the history of Great Britain.

anyqs In the munterbund visualization what do they use to connect the words to eachother?

Despite the recession, Americans are spending more on their beloved pets than ever before.

Spring is in the air and Major League Baseball season is officially underway. Hot dogs, beer and lazy days at the ballpark are on tap for the next several months. But how do the game's players, teams and leagues stack up on the social web ?

What money means to each generation.

That's a pretty nice segmented bar chart on the right.

anyqs: I would like to know how big the sample size was. Also, how many of the participants are actual college students? I'd like to see the data on purely college students.

anyqs: I would definitely like to see some more info on this, the things mentioned above as well as what N/A actually means. Does it mean non drinker? Also I'm guessing that they did not poll anyone under 21. I think there's more non-drinkers than drinkers under 21 but including that group would certainly change things (most likely lessen the wine numbers). Finally, it's not a big deal but the 36% for beer in 2011 appears higher up on the graph than the 36% in 2005.
