It’s embarrassing how many times I’ve failed to memorize this stuff properly.

Ripples is a new visualization feature of Google+ which shows the propagation of posts across different users. Circles within circles indicate resharing. The easiest way to see this is to go into your Google+ stream, select “What’s Hot” from the list on the left, then click on the little arrow in the right hand corner of any post and select “view ripples”. You can click on a timeline at the bottom and watch the post spread, and also see some summary stats about influencers. (and yes, none of my friends are using Google+ much either, which is why this only looks good on public “what’s hot” posts)

If you care about SEO, this is kind of interesting. Personally, I think it’s a chart of which industries are clearly taking too much money out of our pockets if they can afford to pay that much per click.  I’d love to suggest we all click on every insurance ad we see just to stick it to them – but they’d probably just raise our rates to makes up the difference.

Interesting chart of how companies, employees, and acquisitions are all intertwined in the tech industry. Pay attention to which way the arrows are pointing (they look just like lines at first).

How do they compare?

Interesting history of falling hard drive price and internet bandwidth costs. It is the bottoming out of these graphs that is making cloud computing possible. Thanks to David V. for the link!
