This is Dhiren Shingadia's blog about stuff that makes him tick. Here you'll find ramblings about web technology, design and occasional, superfluous, spatters of randomness.

Data Visualisation Deconstructed
Well it’s no secret that I have small obsession with web applications and really damn cool data visualisation concepts. Recently I digged a bit deeper into the anatomy of web applications and now I’m digging a bit deeper into anatomy of DV concepts.
There are so many cool DV concepts about, some of them are really useful and some are, erm…not! Anyway I’ve been been doing some diagnostics on the some of the ones that I like.
Most of the information that you see in them is normally pulled through via feeds, the data is then manipulated and made to look good using flash/silverlight, java and ajax in some cases. So there we are, as amazing as they look, there’s nothing overly complex in the construction of DV concpets.
I think the real skill lies with conception, we’re going to see many more DV concepts pop up this year, many of them will of course be related to twitter.
Send me links to any that you come across.
