I’m a lover of infographics, that much should be apparent by now. Pre-internet, I often looked down my nose at USA Today, and their profusion of infographics. Let’s face it, the fire hose blast of info that is the internet today is almost impossible to stay on top of. Thus my love of infographics!
Pan Galactic, being a social media agency as well as an seo agency, has consulting on infographics in the past, but we’ve never created one ourselves. That’s why my curiosity was peaked by Visual.ly.
Straight from the horse’s mouth, Visual.ly is ” … a tool that will allow everyone to quickly and easily create professional quality designs with their own data”. And this is true to an extent.
At the moment, one can only create a very limited number (3) of infographics, but the site promises that more are coming in the future. Regardless, it’s definitely a site & tool worth checking out.
My test of the product was on the hastag #ripmca. One of my favorite rappers and people for that matter on the planet is Adam Yauch aka MCA, who passed away last friday from cancer. To say it was a hard day for those of us that loved his music and philosophy of giving, would put it very lightly. So, I was very interested to see what Twitter had to say about this amazing man’s life.
Below is the infographic I generated. It’s fascinating to see how many people took to Twitter in the last three days to mourn the passing of this influential person.
