The Discipline of Content Strategy
We, the people who make websites, have been talking for fifteen years about user experience, information architecture, content management systems, coding, metadata, visual design, user research, and all the other disciplines that facilitate our users’ abilities to find and consume content. Article Continues Below Weirdly, though, we haven’t been talking about the meat of the matter. We haven’t been talking about the content itself. Yeah, yeah. But who among us is asking the scary, important questions about content, such as “What’s the point?” As a community, we’re rather quiet on the matter of content. Do you think it’s a coincidence, then, that web content is, for the most part, crap? Dealing with content is messy. And yet, the web is content. And that’s where content strategy comes in. What is Content Strategy? Content strategy plans for the creation, publication, and governance of useful, usable content. At its best, a content strategy defines: But wait…there’s more#section3 BUT.

Wisdom of small crowds, part 3: another worker visualization | The CrowdFlower Blog
This is a follow-up to the previous post on individual workloads and rates. Here are the submission times and durations for every worker on the same graph. Each worker is one horizontal line. The particular data set isn't the same as in the previous post, but was for a similar task and exhibits a similar structure. This view makes the parallelism of AMT apparent.

How To Design Your Own Infographics
Introduction Infographics seem to be a real trend today, with new ones popping up daily on all sorts of subjects. From mortgages to ice cream, estimating software to infographics about infographics, there is very little now that hasn't been 'visualised' in some form. Many people don't realise that the term information graphic, or 'infographic' was first coined over 100 years ago, with the Coxcomb chart by Florence Nightingale in 1857 being one of earliest recognised examples. They have existed in many forms since then, but only in the past few years have infographics developed into the art form we know today. However, they suit the information heavy world we live in as they give an easily understandable visual snapshot of something that may otherwise be plain text, and can help to widen the audience of a subject.

Les data en forme
Cette semaine, les journalistes de données d'Owni vous parlent de couteau suisse, de police utile, d'entrecôte-béarnaise-frites, de législatives et du côté obscur des données. Mais surtout, surtout... Ils vont vous faire chanter ! Après la faille temporelle de la semaine dernière pour cause de nouveau gouvernement à visualiser, ouvrons ce nouveau numéro des data en forme en mode “boîte à outil”. Tout comme le célèbre couteau rouge, selection.datavisualization.ch présente non seulement des outils essentiels pour toutes celles et ceux qui souhaiteraient jouer avec les données mais ils sont présentés de manière intelligente et ergonomique. Trois filtres permettent de trier ces outils en fonction de ce que vous cherchez à faire : cartes, graphiques ou traitement des données. Police et bonnes pratiques Pour rester dans les outils, remercions cette semaine l’ami Geoffrey Dorne pour avoir pointé une police de caractère qui pourrait vite s’avérer indispensable : la typo FF Chartwell.

Every Day of My Life
Apps Every Day of My Life is a visualization of my computer usage statistics from the last 2.5 years. Each line represents one day and each colorful block is the most foreground app running at the given moment. Black areas are periods when my computer is not turned on. All data was gathered using Tapper - a small OSX app logging my application usage written by Dean McNamee. The project was presented as prints at Click festival in Helsingør at the beginning of May in 2012.

the color of data — Visual Hint
The Art Of Reproduction by fernanda and martin The web can seem like the perfect museum, holding all the world’s art. Or did you find pink limbs? Curious just how far reproductions stray from each other, we began an investigation. The discontinuities of color, texture and frame tell the story of the inaccuracies in reproduction, forming a tapestry of beautiful half-truths. For some works, we also created compositions comparing the same detail across many copies. Go to our gallery to see all the compositions. That was fast! It seems like just yesterday (or two blog posts ago) that we announced the beginning of Flowing Media. But today we are bidding the company adieu. It’s been a wonderful, though short, ride at Flowing Media. Right now we’re at orientation in Mountain View, becoming, as they say, more “googley.” Stay tuned. A timeline takes its first steps We are excited to announce the alpha release of TimeFlow: an open-source analytical timeline for reporters. A New Chapter The Web Seer
