4 CommentsData presentation can be both beautiful, elegant and descriptive. There is a variety of conventional ways to visualize data - tables, histograms, pie charts and bar graphs are being used every day, in every project and on every possible occasion. However, to convey a message to your readers effectively, sometimes you need more than just a simple pie chart of your results. In fact, there are much better, profound, creative and absolutely fascinating ways to visualize data. Many of them might become ubiquitous in the next few years.
So what can we expect? Which innovative ideas are already being used? And what are the most creative approaches to present data in ways we’ve never thought before?
Let’s take a look at the most interesting modern approaches to data visualization as well as related articles, resources and tools.

Google maps is a nice way to present data. I like google maps.
I'm not really sure how to reply to this post. What are you asking? Can you show me some visuals?

Don't worry, Mapping the Web is a member... not a community.
And as for mindmaps, yes, they're an interesting, easy way to convey a large amount of textual information.

Mind maps are very interesting and a great way to present and organize ideas and information. One of the most versitle free programs that exist is freemind (www.freemind.com). If you prefer a 3D solution there are many programs out their, but most of them are shareware. However, freemind is very useful.
