In honor of Pi Day (3/14) we took a dive into our library to suss out some Pie Knowledge, and ended up with the above appetizing infographic revealing the flavor breakdown of the 85,748 “pie” search results from our library. Yes, we know that “Pi” equals 3.14159… and not “Pie,” but we couldn’t resist the delicious comparison. Any way you slice it, this is some tasty data, and our mouths water for data here at Shutterstock.

Recently we came across this great infographic by AXZM detailing the five elements of inbound marketing for your business. While they seemed to have channeled Captain Planet to design and categorize this infographic; using Earth, Fire, Air, Water, and the fifth element “Aether” that binds all other forces together. It’s a great guide for a marketer or business owner just starting out in marketing. Each element is tied to an inbound marketing tactic and is partnered with a brief description of the benefit of each tactic, popular platforms, tools used and/ or best practices to implement. What is Inbound Marketing?Inbound marketing is a relatively new marketing concept where marketers aim at getting discovered by potential customers who are actively looking for your product or solution. This idea of “being where your customers are looking” contrasts the traditional way of marketing through television commercials, cold calling, direct mail, trade shows, etc....

From the history of beer to what to do with an empty, these infographics will provide you with a whole variety of knowledge about one of man’s most loved drinks: beer.
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Where would we be without beer? You'll learn some amazing facts about beer in these 10 infographics. Here's just a taste ;-) - Egyptian children were sometimes baptized with beer - in the 1600s, midwives created ultra-strong beer to ease the pain of childbirth - in 1773, the Sons of liberty gathered at the Green Dragon Tavern, had a few beers, and agreed to start a revolution - annual beer consumption in the US is 22 gallons per person - in the US today there are 1,482 craft breweries operating - 9,000 BC Neolithic humans evolved from hunter gatherers to farmers. Was it the bread or the beer? - 2,400 BC Sumerians invent the straw to avoid sediments in the bottom of beer - Plato said: "He was a wise man who invented beer." - takes 18 minutes to burn off the calories from a regular beer compared to 15 minutes for a pint of Guinness. Go figure.
I could go on but that would just make me thirsty for more. Just enjoy these 10 awesome infographics. Cheers!

I love a good infographic! After all, knowledge is power and the visualization of data makes absorbing information all the easier. Well-designed infographics have a way of pulling me into a subject I’d normally never care to know about.

As 2013 begins, social media marketing has already grown a bit old school. Today, the marketing world is still hot on the social media marketing trail, but the trail has diverged. There are different paths with cheerleaders along the way no matter which path a marketer follows.
Ideally, marketers should find the path down the middle that marries all of the elements of social media marketing, but most are not there yet. Many of today’s marketers are still choosing a single path to focus on or jumping back and forth. For example, those paths include the data and metrics focus, the storytelling focus, the visual focus, and more. This article hones in on the visual focus with the help of two great infographics that visually share the data and tell the story of visual storytelling. Appropriate, don’t you think?...

You don't have the luxury of ignoring climate change. Just because Congress — and global climate summits — can't seem to prepare for climate change, doesn't mean the private sector can get away with the same. Mother Nature doesn't do bailouts. The danger signs are clear.
Yet for years, climate change has been off limits for federal policymakers, who have been rendered nearly catatonic over the unproven idea that dealing with climate change or any environmental problem would be too costly for a delicate economy. On the contrary, tackling climate change is an investment that pays off economically as well as socially.
A report from Deutsche Bank showed in 2010 that a portfolio with an overweight to climate solutions would have outperformed a benchmark portfolio over the previous 5 years, indicating that climate as an investment was "not merely an investment sector that may hold future promise; it is a sector that has already delivered and is continuing to deliver."
Moreover, not fixing the problem is quite likely to cost considerably more than addressing it. Particularly now, while there is still time for us to avert even greater damage. Companies that emit a lot of greenhouse gases should know that at some point the burgeoning impacts of climate change will prompt government to act, either at the federal or state level, or both.
This leaves business leaders with two options: wait for whatever the government does and react, or pro-actively plan for a carbon-constrained future....

How about social media? Users of social networking sites are certainly grateful for Thanksgiving itself, particularly when it comes to eating – the phrase ‘Thanksgiving dinner’ is picking up tens of thousands of mentions on Twitter, with stuffing cited as the side dish of choice amongst participants.
(Although, on Pinterest, photos of green beans are, oddly, getting the most pins. I guess you have to be there.)
