It took me less than 10 days (working less than 5 hours a day, so
roughly 40 hours) to make this beautiful map, with zoom, and
mouse-tracking tooltip with pie tweening<p>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6_WRQExsLc<p>A version of this, together with other D3 creations, will soon be put
up on a site with about 6-7 million hits a day<p>Normally, without D3, I'd either have to settle with a terribly boring
solution or commit to 100 days to pull it off from scratch (perfection
has its cost)<p>So kudos to Mike and Jason who are making D3 richer and more
interesting each day<p>I highly recommend D3 to all visual artists and those who are into data kinetics
