Data for Newbies
Hi all,
I can't find a good forum for people interested in data visualization and distribution who are just starting. It would be very useful if we can share experience here and help each other. I have tried to visualize data using ManyEyes, Map a List and OpenHeatMap. Any other suggestions for interesting tools and websites for people who are not experts?
One of the things we're trying to bootstrap on the getTheData.org data related Question and Answer site is a community of folk at all levels of data wrangling expertise.
The site is intended as a clearing house for Q&A around data issues, from where to find data as well as how to "get" it in terms of making sense of it, practicalities of working with it, ways of making sense of it through visualisations, and so on. (i.e. the whole spectrum of data usage).
If you can document your experiences both through the asking - and maybe answering - of questions on site, it will help grow the site and maybe even turn up an answer or two for you... We're quite short on visualisation questions at the moment, so please feel free to chip some in:-)

PS fwiw, one of my favourite visualiastion tools at the moment is the Gephi tool for visualiasing network data (gephi.org)
I have asked a lot of people that are giving me the diffrent answer. But to find a good forum for data visualization and distribution who are just starting no one have a really good answer. So to share experience we need to start somthing here. Then we can help each other. Thank you for bringing this up.
It is strange that this topic is not popular.
With the change, Verizon joins the company of fellow carriers AT&T Inc. and T-Mobile USA, which have both set limits to monthly data usage. Sprint Nextel Corp., the country's third-largest carrier, still offers an unlimited plan.
