Interesting visualization of Money Flow

It is often said that an image is worth a thousand words. New York Times is a good resource for interesting visualization on current topics. The article on Europe’s Web of Debt is rather good at conveying a lot of information on the recent European Debt crisis. The width of the arrows and circles represents size of debt.

Earlier this year New York Times brought another interesting visualization: A Peek Into Netflix [rental] Queues, where you can explore where (by US postnumber) any top 100 movie gets rented. A standard US map is overlaid with a heatmap of the data, and combined with excerpts from the movie reviews. Very amusing.

    Thanks for sharing these helpful visuals, Jesper. Matters such as this can become extremely complicated when put into words, so a concise visual really helps to put it all in perspective and make more sense.
