In the great tradition of end of year blog posts, here's a feature on the top 10 video infographics of 2012. Over the year, I’ve curated 222 videos on this site [videoinfographics.net], and reviewed hundreds more. As part of my process of watching and curating so many infographic videos, I started to keep my own 3-star ranking system of these videos in a spreadsheet to help me keep track of those that I think are the most outstanding. The result was about 60 3-star videos in 2012. That’s too many to feature in a top X list so I turned to the Likes and Comments of my top ranked videos (and in doing so eliminated videos only featured on YouTube since YouTube comments are pretty much trash). This resulted in a list of 10 videos that had triple digit Likes on their Vimeo pages. Voila! A top 10 list. So, in a ascending order, here are the top 10 most liked animated video infographics featured here in 2012, including number of Likes and Comments for each (as of December 30, 2012).

An information graphic in its simplest form is a visual interpretation of data. Though an incredibly useful form of data presentation, infographics have traditionally been an underwhelming sector of the design world. That being said, there are some brilliant designers out there who have turned this form of data visualization into beautiful and creative works of art. In appreciation of those designers who find beauty in data, here is a collection of 40 curated infographic designs that aim to inspire... Via Lauren Moss Delete the scoop?

It's been an eventful year for cartography.
Development and disaster continue to mold the physical world, but for mapmakers, keeping up with geographic changes is busy work -- a tweaked direction here, a freeway exit there. It's very important busy work, as we learned this September when Apple reminded us not to take a good map for granted.
The intersection of geography and data, though, is just beginning to fill out. Together with interactive functions like sliders, timelines, and embedded information, the best new maps resemble Rand McNally's about as much as movies look like photographs. Creating an accurate representation of geography and infrastructure is only the tip of the iceberg. What happens when you integrate statistics about rising seas, gang affiliations, metaphors and beer?
A whole new understanding of the way the world works. And some pretty sweet maps. Without further ado, the top favorite maps of the year... (visit the article link for the maps and associated links) Via Lauren Moss

A gallery of different approaches to visualizing topics covering a broad range of data through cartography and mapping... Examples are supplemented with a summary of the intent, process + graphics of each map, noting the elements that make for successful representations of specific concepts, ideas + data. From urban issues to voting trends to navigation apps and software, maps are tools that can be highly effective in data visualization, as evidenced in this cartographic collection curated by the Atlantic Cities.

The Austin Music Map is a collaboration between KUT Austin and YOU. Take us into your corner of the city. Show us a musical venue we've never heard of before. Surprise us with your favorite undiscovered musician. Let us in on Austin's best kept musical secrets.
So far, people have helped us capture backyard accordion sessions, spontaneous a cappella duets, late night tango performances, and sweaty warehouse shows.
So snap a picture with your cellphone or make a video or record a story about one of your favorite musical moments—and post it here. Tag your media with the venue and neighborhood where you captured it, plus any words that best describe it. Your stuff will be added to ever-growing playlists that you can experience here on the site.
