Data visualisation DIY: our top tools | News | guardian.co.uk - 1 views

Google fusion tablesThis online database and mapping tool has become our default for producing quick and detailed maps, especially those where you need to zoom in. You get all the high resolution of google maps but it can open a lot of data - 100mb of CSV, for instance. The first time you try it, Fusion tables may seem a little tricky - but stick with it.
-
Tableau PublicIf you don't need the unlimited space of the professional edition, this is free - and means you can make pretty complex visualisations simply and easily with up to 100,000 rows. We use it when we need to bring different types of charts together - as in this map of top tax rates around the world, which also has a bar chart too.

After something simple - like a bar or line chart, or a pie chart? You'll find that Google spreadsheets (which you create from the documents bit of your Google account) can create some pretty nice charts - including the animated bubbles used by Hans Rosling's Gapminder. Unlike the charts API you don't need to worry about code -

On his way to become the world's most powerful data tycoon the player obtains data from a variety of sources - be they legal or illegal - and forms strategic alliances with other players. The Data Dealer´s growing empire has to be defended from various threats, such as competing players trying to hack into the database, complaining citizens, critical media and privacy activists. The project deals with questions as: Which personal data is available? Who collects this data? What are their intents? What could it be used for?
Giving A Kick-Ass Presentation In The Age Of Social Media | Fast Company - 2 views

All of the people we spoke to for this piece are very effective speakers, and though each has their own distinctive style, there are a few other commonalities I'd like to point out. First, none of them depend on word-laden PowerPoint presentations. Second, most are good storytellers and use humor, often self-deprecating, to connect with their audiences. Finally, each of them manages to keep their presentations short enough to allow time for a healthy Q&A.

Il governo-wiki, ovvero l’amministrazione che prende a modello ed utilizza gli strumenti collaborativi usati per esempio ogni giorno da migliaia di estensori anonimi e volontari di Wikipedia, è ormai oggetto di discussioni tutt’altro che accademiche; e la Wikicrazia (termine lanciato un paio di anni fa da un dirigente dell’Unione Europea ad un barcamp di hacker in Danimarca e poi adottato da Alberto Cottica per intitolare un libro fondamentale sul tema), è molto più dell’ultima nuova idea: per molti è l’unica via per ridare slancio all’azione di governo al tempo di Internet.

La stessa che consentì ad un gruppo di hacker di mettere su in poche ore e gratuitamente Katrinalist, un sito che aggiornava in tempo reale la lista dei sopravvisuti all’uragano di New Orleans, mentre il governo Bush annaspava.

grazie alla progressiva diffusione della banda larga e all’inevitabile arrivo al potere di una generazione di nativi digitali, è convinzione comune che entro il 2020 “le forme di cooperazione online accresceranno la disponibilità di governi, aziende, istituzioni ed organizzazioni no-profit a recepire e soddisfare più apertamente le necessità della popolazione” (conclusione del report 2010 della Elon University e del Pew Research Center).

Using Diigo for Collaborative Curation | Fusion Finds - 0 views

For example, I had a teacher ask about free screen capture tools. I sent her a link to all the items I had tagged with screencapture in my Diigo account. For the groups to which I’ve joined (ie Diigo in Education), I can see resources tagged by others and shared with the group, as well as share what I’ve tagged. I also follow a few users with similar interests and can see their public resources

Call me old-fashioned, but I believe in having a real discussion about ideas as opposed to force-feeding an increasingly sleepy crowd with numerous graphs and bullet points projected on to the nearest wall.

Sometimes I wonder why we even bother showing up to hear a colleague elucidate on their thesis, when we are helpfully posted an advance printout of the presentation. As the speaker is building to a crucial statistic, delegates have long finished and are doing the crossword instead.

In Kenya, if you charged women just 50p for an insecticide-treated bednet (one of the most effective low-cost prophylactics against malaria) demand dropped 75 per cent. Uptake of deworming drugs—an important factor in child development—dropped 80 per cent if a small charge was applied. And in October 2005, the Bamako initiative received a fatal blow from a paper in the British Medical Journal. The study took epidemiological data from 20 African countries and projected what would happen if user fees were removed. The conclusion was that, each year, the lives of 233,000 children under five would be saved.
