Re:What about the fonts? by Anonymous Coward · 2011-07-03 02:15 · Score: 3, Informative · on Calling Out GE's Misleading Data Visualizations

I am so shaken up by this story, I know I will get all nervous the next time I insert SmartArt charts in Powerpoint - I would be so ashamed to end up publicly flogged on this guy's strongly-worded blog...
"This guy" is one of the most well known authors of the visualization community.
Check out his website. How many people have a wikipedia page of one of their inventions?

Check out Stephen Few's blog http://www.perceptualedge.com./ Good info there. For my money, Tableau is the way to go. It's cheap enough and easy to implement. And it reads practically everything. The visualizations are cool too.
