Deutchy, a colleague, just shared this info-graphics video on the state of the internet. Nice treatment and gets the blood pumping with the inherent opportunity and LARGE numbers. Timing couldn’t be more perfect for the start of ADMA Digital Certificate course this year – always good to get current data in a more accessible format.

Big thanks to Jesse who’s taken the time to do this.

This visualisation could be better, I want to zoom in and out, explore countries and cities… but it does get the point across. Facebook is very well connected.

Personally I have a love hate relationship with the platform… but that’s inevitable with something that I joined almost four years ago, friended everyone in the first few months and then couldn’t be bothered to filter.

Well done Zuckerberg – world domination is yours – just keep opening up the platform and you’ll be fine !

Realtime data visualisation of 14,000 Lufthansa and Star Alliance flights worldwide. Visitors to Lufthansa’s Brand Academy in Frankfurt can interact with the flight data. Zooming in on specific flights or areas and listen to radio communications. Created by Whitevoid.

From what I can see in the video: the instillation feels like the deck of the ‘Enterprise’ and the sound design makes the user experience immersive. No doubt they’ll be a queue to navigate the instillation. Good to see an airline making more of their services than just taking people from one place to another.

what you’re looking at:
over 3,000 apps-and growing-are downloaded every minute from the App Store. This is a live feed showing the activity of 20,000 popular apps currently on the store. Every time a customer downloads an app, its icon lights up (5-min delay).

Part inspired by a chit-chat with Katie Chatfield and Ian Lyons this morning. Here’s an idea for a smart airline that wants to raise its green credentials… why not help your Twitter customers offset their air travel. Create an app or # tag that allows users to log their trips. Said airline could then offer to go halves on the carbon offset. Loyalty, talkability, value return – the planet is saved :)

Not to mention the fact that the whole initiative could be brought to life with individual ‘twitter travel stories’ showing a users travel overtime. The stories could be similar to the above – but personal – showing me where I went and ‘what I was doing..’.

User-data-generated clips that I can embed… send to friend and so forth. I mean, I could even merge my photos with the data… and put the whole thing on my mantle piece for the family to see!!!

I want my twitter, flickr, worldmap, gps, realtime data visualising picture frame – or similar.
