Religion Maps
18 Aug 2009Where is the real bible belt? What about the Pentacostal belt? (there isn’t one – they’re very spread out) Fascinating maps showing how regional some Christian church’s are.

Geeknews Treemap
In: Culture News Media
18 Aug 2009Much like the news map, the oursignal.com treemap aggregates headlines from Digg, Reddit, Del.icio.us and a couple others (should include slashdot, IMO). Spotted over at Information Aesthetics.

Seafood Heatmap?
29 Jul 2009What seafoods are safe to eat? Being overfished? Good magazine has a guide. (roughly: blue=good, yellow=maybe, black=bad; see the article for details). More interesting, perhaps, is the Seafood Watch iphone app which was mentioned in the comments.
How Much is College Worth?
23 Jul 2009NYT’s Economix blog noticed payscale.com’s dataset of college grad salaries. Some interesting charts there, and since they make the raw data available, we’ll probably see more.
School Days
23 Jul 2009A hodge-podge of school related facts. You always walk away from a Good infographic wanting more, but nobody does the easy read overviews as well as they do.
