Dataists give their hopes and dreams for data, data tools and
data science in 2011.
Already, Google has provided
Google Refine (
previously) to help clean your datasets. While great
visualizations can be created with online
tools or by combining R (great
posts previously), with
ggplot2,
GGobi, and even
Google Motion Charts With R (already built into Google
Spreadsheets).
Need data?
Needlebase, helps non-programmers scrape, harvest, merge, and data from the web. Or if you’re introspective,
Your Flowing Data and
Daytum provide tools to measure and chart details of your own life.

The extensive data visualization project tells the story of where and how the lives of these troops began and ended. The project is a sobering look at the human cost of two wars in the Middle East, and as such is restrained with a sober palette of blacks, whites and greys. [
