Data visualizations can be gorgeous, but images often don’t do them justice, especially if we’re talking live, real-time visualizations (some of which require a lot of processing power and can’t even be run on a regular desktop computer). We’ve dug out 7 videos of awesome data visualizations you simply must see. Skyrails Skyrails is a social network visualization system, but it can be used to visualize any graph or dataset.

The economy is still looking grim. Not making any money and not having an identifiable business model should probably mean you’ll have to make do with what you have and not expect anyone to pour any money into your startup, at least for a while. Some startups, however, are still making it happen. Microblogging service Tumblr, for example, just closed Series B round of financing, with Union Square Ventures and Spark Capital leading the $4.5 ...

So, when you first heard about the iPhone’s application platform and how cool it was, what were your thoughts? I know what I thought: great, I can’t wait to see all the cool and useful applications we’ll see on this thing! I bet on location-aware apps to be the next big thing. I even threw some ideas around; in my delusion, I thought I could anticipate what kind of applications might get really big. But ...

Yesterday we dug out a cool slideshow which tries to tell us, in a mere 34 slides, everything there is to know about Google. It’s not the only Google-related slideshow out there, though; in fact, we’ve found dozens of them. Here’s a selection of ten we’ve found to be either very useful or interesting. Google for Life Science Researchers A couple of useful tips for Life Science researches which are, in fact, applicable to everyone. ...

There was a time when news aggregators (especially tech-focused) were sprouting up left and right every other day: Techmeme, Megite, Tailrank (currently down). Then, after a while, everything went quiet: not many of these gained much traction, algorithms weren’t always doing a perfect job at discovering and aggregating news from various sources, and everyone seemed to have gone back to simply following news the oldschool way: through a bunch of RSS feeds. TechFuga is a ...

"TechFuga is a new site that tries to breathe new life into this space. It’s an aggregator of tech news aggregators: simply put, it takes all of the aforementioned sites and many others, plus a bunch of tech blogs, and brings all that together on one page that’s eerily similar to Techmeme, with some news sources being chosen as primary and others as related news."

Hot on the heels of Warner’s deal with Google going sour comes a rumor that Warner, together with Sony BMG, EMI, and Universal Music Group, are in talks to create their own video portal dedicated to music videos; something akin to a Hulu for music. I’ve said it many times, I’ll say it again: as long as copyright laws prevent such content from being shown internationally (and not only to users in the USA), I’ll ...

Fact: Lots of Facebook friends means a lot of eyes and ears for your message. Once this became obvious, shady techniques were developed to amass a lot of Facebook friends or to get users to join a group. The questions are: how annoying this really is, could it become the next spam, and should Facebook do anything about it? Squaredpeg does a lengthy analysis of something we could call Facebook squatting: someone is setting up ...

Pinger Phone is a new free iPhone application that “upgrades” its communication capabilities, giving equal importance to calling or texting your contacts and sending them tweets or Facebook messages. In practice, you open your contact list, and you can decide whether you want to call that contact, send him/her an SMS or drop him/her a private tweet. It makes sense, especially for heavy social networking users who are used to communicating on Facebook or Twitter ...

Have you checked out New York City in Google Earth lately? You should, because Google added a layer of photorealistic building textures which make the city look like something from a decent flight simulator. Or, in one word: awesome! Google has been adding new photorealistic textures for many months now, and the users themselves have contributed. As a result, there’s almost no important landmark in NYC without a 3D model.

2008 was definitely the year that social was brought into the mainstream. Nearly all big social networking sites have redesigned to accommodate their quickly growing audiences, while the big portals have incorporated many social features into their front pages. It’s still too early to say whether many of these are good or bad. Will Yahoo’s drastic home page redesign be good or bad for them in the long run? Will Facebook’s new look, which stirred ...

Twitter competitor Pownce is no more. We followed the story yesterday: it was acquired by Six Apart, but not to develop the service further: simply to acquire the talented people that worked on Pownce. I’d like to quickly revisit the story because I’ve been following Pownce from day one, I’ve actually used it more than Twitter, and I’ve been bullish on the service because I thought it offered a compelling feature set when compared to ...

Users can send a text message containing the words “Balance” or “Bal” to shortcode “MyMint” (696468) and they’ll receive info for savings, credit, and loans they’re tracking on Mint.
