Totaal’s Infographics Week: Day Two
Posted on 07. Apr, 2010 by benmckenna in All Posts, Technology
The infographics mania continues with some more lovely information and design based goodness for you all again today. If there is a theme here it’s probably about interaction. Mostly it’s just infographics that I have found that I have liked or I thought brought something new to the party.
The Social Media Effect
A nice lo-fi graphic which charts the amplifying effect of the social web on the most common online currency unit of the day, an item of content. The best thing that this illustrates is the “trickle-down” fashion of content from the most immediate networks like Twitter and Digg right the way through to google and network features.
The History of Location Technology
The geolocation feature on smartphones has led to an absolute revolution in how mobile technology is used in the modern day and this graphic takes us right the way through the history of location technology from smoke signals to the modern day.
How the World Engages with the Social Web
This lovely graphic charts how the different countries surveyed interact with the social web covering the whole gamut of interaction from access, blogging, microblogging, Social Network use and video/photo uploads. A random fact from this: In China the equivalent of almost twice the population of the UK share photos and videos online. Wow.
The Six Different Behaviour Types of the Web
This, sadly US only, graphic charts the behavioural habits as well as the ages and number of the six major types of content consumers on the web. Are you a creator, a critic, a collector, a joiner, a spectator or an inactive? I’m cool with you as long as you are an inactive, I really hate you guys.
