@DeseretSports @houston_brogan Benning did us Canucks fans dirty with that desperate, shortsighted trade. I’m glad I can now enjoy the other side of it as a Mammoth fan. It doesn’t sting as bad now.

@sadanandghule Thanks, Sadanand. I’m happy to hear you found it insightful.

@KatGreenbrook I agree with your assessment, Kat. That’s why in the preface of my book on data storytelling, I state my book isn’t a data visualization book. While the charts can help us to communicate our messages more clearly or compellingly, the underlying data and narrative are essential.

@notesumar I’m glad you enjoyed it, Umar.

@DataRevelations @storywithdata @mikevizneros @nickdesb @acotgreave @HighVizAbility @abmakulec That's my philosophy, @DataRevelations. Dashboards can spark questions that lead to important insights and meaningful data stories.

@sansar_b You’re welcome, Sansar. I’m glad you found it useful.

@ravellom Questions for dashboards. Statements for data stories.

[Brent Dykes @analyticshero]

@Datadoses @joshuastarmer @BecomingDataSci Thanks for including my book in your stack of goodness!

[Brent Dykes @analyticshero]

@ravellom @DataCamp will be handling that aspect. They should be providing it soon I imagine.
