I don't get it. Is a collection of made-up facts supposed to constitute satire or something?<p>> Infographs are usually very pretty, but it's really a gimmick, they're not useful content, it's link bait to get traffic to a blog.<p>Why so cynical? God forbid somebody represent data in an aesthetically pleasing manner. If infographics are a gimmick, then so is anything anybody ever does to make their creations interesting to read/view/use.
Meh. It's satire, and it does have somewhat of a point, but I feel like it's even more shallow than what it's parodying. It captures the feel of a bad infographic post well, but it does it to the point where I feel like it undermines their own purpose.<p>With apologies to Bill Hicks: Ahh, I see what they're doing there. They're going for the shallow infographic satirizing shallow infographics market. Big market there.
They are also ruining our youth! Infographs encourage our lazy society to become even more dependent on graphical stimulation and less competent in reading the printed word. I believe the first infographic was developed in Nazi Germany and illustrated SS soldiers goose stepping.
A bad (IMHO) example of infographic:<p><a href="http://images.fastcompany.com/upload/Typefaces-of-the-world_new_large.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://images.fastcompany.com/upload/Typefaces-of-the-world_...</a><p>Stylish, but hardly readable and not very informative.
