Same same, but different

Great script (in CSS and Javascript) which makes it really easy to display boxplots on a website. Great!

Like that one. Lightweight, easy, supply of additional information by mouseover. Really neat.

Datamob highlights the connection between public data sources and the interfaces people are building for them.

Combination of (statistical) data and GoogleMaps Mashup from the New York Times.

Unique way of showing the trends of environmental data, either by countries, or by regions. Really neat! Source here and download PDF national here or regional here.

Seeing data in a different way, subregions versus regions, and totals versus per capita. One needs a minute to really get into it, but really attractive, innovative way of displaying these data. Source here and download as PDF here.

Great collection of New York Times Infographics!

Different – innovative and attractive – way of displaying CO2 emission data, as ISO country codes. And very useful to see both per capita and total values displayed next to each other. PDFs available here.

Some nice data visualization.

Good tool to see how many web pages are linking to someone elses website.

Nice infographic with lots of brands one knows.

Very nice login/registration form. See it here in action.

Nicely designed poster.
