Beth Kanter's insight: from Mashable article (http://mashable.com/2013/10/01/data-viz-sites/) A mildly tongue-in-cheek blog, Chart Porn curates a number of graphics, from simple charts to complex data visualizations, and drops them into posts with a one-sentence description. Many of the graphics come from news outlets such as The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal. There are also a surprising number of financial and political graphics, fitting for a blog edited by an economist who doubles as an artist.

Visual thinking is a way to organize your thoughts and improve your ability to think and communicate. It’s a way to expand your range and capacity by going beyond the linear world of the written word, list and spreadsheet, and entering the non-linear world of complex spacial relationships, networks, maps and diagrams.

Facebook poaches an NYU machine learning star to start a new AI lab that may very well end up knowing more about your social life than you do. Facebook users upload 350 million photos onto the social network every day, far beyond the ability of human beings to comprehensively look at, much less analyze. And so that’s one big reason the company just hired NYU machine learning expert Yann LeCun as director of Facebook’s new AI laboratory, an eminent practitioner of an artificial intelligence (AI) technique known as “deep learning.” “Yann LeCun's move will be an exciting step both for machine learning and for Facebook, which has a lot of unique social data,” says Andrew Ng, who directs the Stanford Artifical Intelligence Laboratory and who led a deep-learning project to analyze YouTube video for Google. “Machine learning is already used in hundreds of places throughout Facebook, ranging from photo tagging to ranking articles to your newsfeed. Better machine learning will be able to help improve all of these features, as well as help Facebook create new applications that none of us have dreamed of yet.” Via Lauren Moss

Learn more about the value of data visualisation. Tableau's Jock Mackinlay explains why data is inert and worthless without the twin practices of visualisation and storytelling. This is a quick piece that makes some valuable points. Frankly, I'm not a hard-core data head. Yet I love looking at spreadsheets, bar charts, line charts and other visual displays of data in order to make meaning of the material and spot trends. There is a whole science to displaying data in meaningful ways (see Edward Tufte's work) that we don't need to go into here. But what I like about this article is that it points to the fact that all the data in the world is meaningless until you can tell the story about what it is saying and what it means. Storytelling and data go hand-in-hand. Truly, those of us in the field of business storytelling need to build our data skills. And data-geeks need to develop their storytelling skills. Sounds like a match made in heaven! Here's another aspect of storytelling that this article alludes to: yes, we all know it takes time to share a story and in this fast-paced world, it is not uncommon to hear "But who has the time?! Just give me the data to share. We've got to get moving!" Ahhhhh -- huge mistake! Taking the time to share a story in the beginning makes projects go much more quickly. That sounds counter-intuitive, but I experience this phenomenon again and again. Read the article for additional points on how the marriage of data and storytelling make for better decision making. They are worth remembering. This review was written by Karen Dietz for her curated content on business storytelling at www.scoop.it/t/just-story-it Via Bas Kooter, Beth Kanter
