Big Data BBQ

As an exper­i­ment, I’ve cre­ated a series of pin boards on Pin­ter­est covering

• Big Data Startups
• Map­ping and Cartograms
• Cool visu­als
• Big Data Ideas
• Visu­al­iza­tion and Charting
• Word maps and clouds
• Big Data Bookshelf

At this point, my thoughts are that Pin­ter­est is a great ser­vice to take snap­shots of inter­est­ing things related to big data, charts, maps, and other data visu­al­iza­tion. I wish it were bet­ter inte­grated into my blog or that there were a Word­Press plu­gin to eas­ily repli­cate the pin boards. Specif­i­cally things I’d like to do with the pin­boards is orga­nize the con­tent within the boards into sub­cat­e­gories or some axes so for exam­ple, in the maps and car­tograms sec­tion, there would be group­ings like geo­graphic vs. sta­tis­ti­cal data or maps vs cartograms.
