Creatalytics by Matthew Burgess

Here’s something interesting, but related to this blog only insofar as an example of the use of excellent data visualization tools.

There was a set of charts presented in the Sunday NYT with a very cool charting technique to show slowdown/expansion cycles in the economy, and how they relate over time to leading indicators like industrial production.  Gives a really nice sense of the volatility of the current cycle, relative to historical vol.

I looked for the online version, and it turns out they have an interactive graphing visualization that’s even better than the print.

Here’s the link to the interactive graph.
