Here’s a quick experiment in data visualisation to provide an instant insight into a story on how the blame game is being played by columnists.
The data is taken from a Liberal Conspiracy blog post – I’ve transferred that into a spreadsheet with limited categories and used the Gauges gadget to visualise the totals.
A screengrab is below – but there is also an embed code that provides a gauge that will be updated whenever a new columnist is added. See the spreadsheet for both the gauge and the raw data.
