Visual.ly promises to be THE site for creating, sharing and exploring great visualizations. Bold statement. Sounds great!
Will Visual.ly real.ly help me?
The above punchline includes ”Create”. Will visual.ly be an online tool to CREATE visualizations? I am eager to see as the promo video does not include creating vizualisations and if yes, how? At one point the video only talks about exploring, sharing and promoting.
They say: Story + Data + Design = Vizualization. Makes sense.
I only wonder, whether data visualisation and infographics the very same thing as it seems that visual.ly is putting it. I would say that:
Infographics = 40% Story + 20% Data + 40% Design
and
Data vizualisation = 20% Story + 50% Data + 30% Design
Same elements but different proportions.
Let’s see, what visual.ly will provide when the curtains unfold!
