Referenced from undrln<\/a>, there’s an article over at Business Week about some of the more innovative techniques being used in data visualisation<\/a>. Data visualisation to me represents a fantastic merger between raw IT data mining and art\/creativity. It’s about coming up with techniques that convey large amounts of information in a glance. As may be inferred by my previous article, I don’t think that cloud computing is the next big thing; instead, I think information search and data presentation\/visualistion are going to go through a very large spike in importance. The more we store, the more we need to be able to search, and the more we need to be able to see<\/em>. This is evidenced, even at a personal computing level, by the number of utilities out there that allow users to visualise space utilisation on their systems. (For instance, I make regular use of Grand Perspective<\/a>, a utility for the Mac. It may not necessarily look like much, but with its intuitive breakdown by location and clumping of used space, it allows me any time I run it to quickly see what’s using space on my local storage.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
