#DataVisualization is in hipe, that's obvious for all of us.
The idea behind all of this is that if you want to get real value out of data, you have to show it in a way that people enjoy and understand.
Good visualization for sure plays hard in the "enjoy" part of that sentence. If you are able not only to show data in a cool and way, but also in a meaningful way... there you go!
That's, in a (really raw) nutshell, the data visualization soul.
Now the Data Visualization world has also his own viral case study!
This is the starting content of the first ever email for the community of the Data Visualization Society.
"Hello everyone,

...
ok, I think you got it.. :)
"The Data Visualization Society aims to collect and establish best practices and foster community to support its members as they develop their data visualization skills."
I'm a recent member of this crazy project and I lose myself into the group postings of beautiful visualizations and tips.
I really have the feeling that something good is growing here and I hope the founders will keep it running properly.
Starting from the logo creation they realized something mesmerizing. You can rapidly read what's the idea behind the logos and members badge here:
Here I proudly share my first badge with you ;)
If you are involved into the data visualization take a look at this community and become an active member !
But remember, from great dataviz skill comes great responsibility.
Use it wisomly!
(does that word even exist o.O ?)
