Best Data Visualization of 2008

Data Visualization seems to be all the rage these days and there is a great summary of some of the instances of it from 2008 over at Flowing Data. (via MS on Twitter) Some of these were already familiar to me (Wordle and House of Cards) but there were some new surprising ones, most notably I Want You To Want Me by Johnathon Harris.

New ways or displaying and interacting with information seems to be on the rise. We just launched a new project called Branded Life with our own take of visualization inspired by Wordle. Developed with Jer from blprnt and Ryan Ilg, for Egg Strategy, the site allows focus group users to log their brand experiences through a day, and then visualize the results.
