In this talk, Jer shares his moving projects, from graphing an entire year’s news cycle, to mapping the way people share articles across the internet.

    Great talk about the often forgotten or ignored relationship of data and the humans behind it.

    It’s amazing what can already be tracked and displayed with data visualization. The cascade tool is my favorite: http://nytlabs.com/projects/cascade.html
