Interesting website which “tracks” the impact on biodiversity loss through consumption.

Really nice tool to turn JSON into a readable format. Great!

Interesting application which can bridge a bit the space between Excel data and Illustrator visualization work.

Nice example of an attractive and both visual and textual display of indicators.

Nice evolution from a standard (and as such published) Excel chart to a nice, innovative looking one (although perhaps a bit more challenging to read).

Nice way of showing how much time and effort goes when into a website design.

Very interesting data and some really nice graphics on land grabbing.

Nice online browser/atlas with Landsat global mosaic @ 14.5 meters (?).

Cool tool which enables one to convert almost anything, SVG to image, Image to SVG, Music formats, …. Great! Or here for audio/video files if the file is larger.

Data visualization tools grow steep in numbers. Difficult to catch up with all developments. Datavisualization.ch has a nice overview over some of these.
