Comments on: A long look at Stephen Few’s “Now You See It” http://datadoodle.com/2009/07/15/now-you-see-it/ Where the humans meet analytics and related subjects Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:33:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Mark Madsen http://datadoodle.com/2009/07/15/now-you-see-it/comment-page-1/#comment-636 Mark Madsen Sat, 08 Aug 2009 01:11:14 +0000 http://datadoodle.com/?p=816#comment-636 Good assessment of the text. I find that I have been through many of the same topics before in Tufte and other books. For the newer concepts and techniques I've been following others in the data visualization and infovis community. Many of them are younger and / or in the academic world. Often I stumble across them because of something useful or interesting I found online, like Jeffery Heer (http://hci.stanford.edu/jheer/) and Jonathan Harris (http://www.wefeelfine.org/) and Martin Wattenberg (http://www.bewitched.com/) The innovator crowd in the BI market is looking at what these types of researchers are working on and trying them out. I found Bis2 to have some novel concepts in their products. They don't seem to be afraid to take risks on techniques that may or may not work (http://www.bis2.net/) Good assessment of the text.
