When we launched in December we heard plenty of positive things about Swivel. However, we also heard 'constructive criticism'. One of the blog posts packed with suggestions for us was this entry from Stephen Few's blog, Visual Business Intelligence.
We took his thoughts to heart and even ordered his books from amazon so we can read them and have them here at Swivel HQ. They recently arrived, here are links to the books.
- Show Me the Numbers: Designing Tables and Graphs to Enlighten
- Information Dashboard Design: The Effective Visual Communication of Data
The first bit of content in Show Me the Numbers is actually the full text of Ode to Numbers by Pablo Neruda which I found online here.
The poem and the books are artful. And the books are especially informative. So many awesome things happening with numbers. Check them out.
