Cool Looking Graphs

The first time I saw a steam graph was earlier this year when The New York Times created a graph to show how movies did at the box office. It’s a really cool way to visualize data.

I looked for more examples of steam graphs but could not find many. Maybe they are called something else or people just don’t want to use them.

The Ebb and Flow of Movies

The New York Times Ebb and Flow

This graph is of Obama’s One Week speech delivered October 27th 2008 was create by neoformix.

This one is a little different. It shows box office data for movies.

I was able to make a graph from my Last.fm account information at a website called LastGraph. This graph looks sort of lame compared to the ones I listen above it.  But at least it’s mine.
