Perfect! Let’s see, X-Y, X-Y-Z, Bar, Pie 3-D Bar, 3-D Pie. What the heck is Heat Map? Hey, this is kind of fun. I have an idea . . . look at this, no matter what numbers I plug in, it has perfect symmetry!

Whoa! I think I just discovered a new kind of graph!

I’ll call it . . . a Y-Y graph!!!

Also probably a mistake.

When I finished reading your (excellent) post, I clicked on Google+1 and ReadItLater page popped up telling me that it has been updated, inviting me to click on like about what is new. And on that I found this: http://readitlaterlist.com/blog/2011/12/more-from-our-most-read-authors-report-and-why-bylines-matter/. Speaking of bar charts! I could not believe it.
Actually, it must have been a coincidence, because I found that in another browser tab there was “Add to Google” (Homepage or Reader) window. I don’t understand how it is related to the +1 button, but that’s not the point anyway.
I enjoyed you blog post very much!

Although the lowercase b is an inverted p, “dubsteb” is not a music genre.

Put down your data viz tool and take a walk. Notice the real world around you, then come back and think about using visualizations to help a reader understand the data better.” Love it.
