Peak Break-Up Times On Facebook

Peak Breakup Times according to Facebook
An image myself and Lee Bryon created in 2008 for The Visual Miscellaneum using facebook status updates

(Somebody redrew this graph and now it’s going round like wildfire but without credits – gnash! So I thought I’d officially put it up)

Christmas too cruel. Hahah! Still makes me chuckle.

The Varieties Of Intimate Relationship

Intimate Relationship

Something Spock might’ve knocked up in his first year at the Vulcan Science Academy.

That’s what I think when I look at this graphic. Now. Two years after myself and Laura Sullivan created it for my infographic book Information Is Beautiful (US | UK).

It’s been updated and regraphicked. I’ve folded in some new types of relationships from this awesome diagram from Franklin Veaux (via QuietRiotGirl).

Sexperts! Let us know if we’ve missed anything.

The True Size Of Africa

The True Size Of Africa

Brilliant infographic from Kai Krause (perhaps the Kai Krause?) to combat rampant ‘immappancy’

(Now corrected for map projection errors by marauding carto-nerds – thanks Manuela Schmidt)

I would perhaps twin it with these:

True Size Of USASee the image on its own

True Size Of AntarticaSee the image on its own

Terror Alerts vs Elections

Election Time vs Terrorist Attack
Accusations today over the timings of terror alerts and elections.

The Bush administration used to raise threat levels around campaign time, apparently. Is Obama doing the same with European terror alerts to create a rally-round-the-president effect?

I wondered if there was a correlation between terrorism and elections we could actually see.

See the dynamic graph on Googe Insights

(It tracks the intensity of keywords over time- an interesting barometer of the group mind).

Note: Here I’ve chosen two relevant keywords that have similar intensity. In Insights, if you chose a keyword that’s too intense it dwarves the other and hides the pattern. Example.)

Any correlation?
