Over the last couple of days, Kimberly has shared some of the materials that Zemoga has created for our Spark Sessions (as well as some of the cool swag that we’ve created to promote our brand).

On a recent trip to the zoo with my wife and son, I realized this place was designed. Not just the signage, or the plaques describing the animals genus or place of origin. I mean the entire experience. Some may say “duh.” It’s an attraction, of course. But I’m talking Read More-->

America is a car country and we Americans feel a strong connection between our cars and the identity that they give us. A car is not just a way to get from one place to another, it’s a status symbol. Our cars tell the world who we are. We’re not just keeping up with the Joneses, we’re outdoing them, letting our individuality shine through how our cars represent us. Read More-->

We know it’s the wrong movie but this is how we imagine this conversation going …

Good ideas make you smile. Great ideas make you want to steal them. That was our first reaction to Paris 26 Gigapixels, a remarkable project that has stitched together over 200 pictures to provide one of the most detailed digital panoramas we’ve ever seen.

British developers theMobileHealthCrowd have created a wonderful resource, simply called “101 things to do with a mobile phone in healthcare“. Explaining what it is would be pretty redundant, with a title like that. But it’s a great resource.

We live in an age of multi-multimedia and our final data visualization of the week does a good job of illustrating this. Brian Solis‘ Conversation infographic highlights the multiple digital platforms that can be used to communicate with the modern consumer.

Wouldn’t you stand up and take notice if you saw something like this in your next Powerpoint deck?

How many of these services are you using? And how are you conveying that to your employees and customers??

Can you ever get enough great infographics? We don’t think so. Continuing our data visualization themed week, here’s a great visualization of the 6 year history of Facebook from our friends at Mashable (designed by the incomparable Muhammad Saleem).

What can data analysis and visualization tell us about ourselves?

This fascinating graphic from Pete Warden shows how cities and topics are related on Facebook. It’s a thoroughly modern take on the classic NINE NATIONS OF NORTH AMERICA.

You can read Pete’s full analysis of the data here.  It’s a terrific look at how we behave online and also a terrific illustration of the wealth of information that’s available on the Internet.

How are you taking advantage of all the data that’s out there? And how are you using it to create compelling content??

By Sven Larsen (@zemoga) We’ve mentioned before how much we love data visualization. And it seems like we’re not alone. The chart above was created by Focus Research and is meant to display the stte of the Internet in one easy to view graphic.

It’s an ambitious project and we think they’ve done a very good job with it. As generations grow up with a marriage of visuals and text and data becomes ever more complex (and available), being able to present information clearly will become an essential marketing skill.

Do you deal with large amounts of data in your business? How can you make it easier for your customers to understand the information you’re providing them? Read More-->?
