Data visualisation should help describe data, but sometimes it can go very wrong indeed ... #datavis #dataviz

Simple but misleading too. Shows timeline well but implies all affected equally - front runner is Facebook (12% drop) vs Amazon's (6%). https://t.co/bKN22m2MYO

Great viz on today’s @FT showing the #Facebook effect of the last few weeks. Simple and effective! // @ftdata

nothing like a good chart to create clarity

An excellent discussion of good & bad data vis from @theboysmithy https://t.co/ZwMuxRPuOc

[Lisa Charlotte Muth @lisacmuth]

Great #dataviz article (too bad it's hidden behind a paywall), in which @theboysmithy redesigns a UNESCO chart step by step: https://t.co/VQ2itrNwgi

Best line IMO: “Adopt a 'fewer but better' mantra when it comes to incorporating [charts] in reports.”

Imagine what could make a pie chart even worse ... https://t.co/GhJMioI3KV

Here is a classic from the Sun. Note that 0 seats is bigger than 22 - of course! #dataviz https://t.co/EZ4FjQ3hf9

[Arieh Kovler @ariehkovler]

"Is 34 bigger or smaller than 14?"
"Smaller. Definitely smaller"
"What about zero?"
"Zero's a bit less than 34 but it's much more than 22"

Your input, please! Are there good use cases for #stackedbars? https://t.co/YzAjlrM8Bn #dataviz

Some nice examples here of the perilous bubble chart ... #dataviz

Are hospitals improving? This graph tells the story - but not sure what story that is. #baddatavis #baddataviz https://t.co/VpNCQJUvca

[Sir Jeremy Hunt MP @Jeremy_Hunt]

Are hospitals improving? This graph from the CQC tells the story

Are you fed up with dreadful #datavis? Am going to tweet about my favourites from @BadDataVis - do follow if you get similarly enraged. (& thanks to @BadSurveyQ for the inspiration). https://t.co/37qF14boFl
