The Best Data Visualization Sources

If you're like me, you spend way too much time surfing for cool visualizations. Here's the list of blogs/websites/etc I read to keep up to date on the growing field of big data and data visualization.

Reddit (where better to sink your time?)

• r/dataisbeautiful - awesome
• r/visualizations - decent
• r/infographics - fair

News

• Chart of the Day - The Atlantic Wire
• Chart of the Day - Business Insider
• Graphic Detail - The Economist
• Data Store - The Guardian

Blogs

• chartsnthings - blog from the masters at the New York Times graphics department
• Visually - a veritable warehouse of visualizations, though a bit infographic heavy for my taste
• Data Pointed - Stephen Von Worley's blog
• dubly - infrequent, but very thoughtful posts
• Visualizing Data - by Andy Kirk
• eagereyes - by Robert Kosara
• Flowing Data - Nathan Yau, see also his list of data/visualization blogs
• Information is Beautiful
• Edward Tufte - website of the master

Misc

• astroplotlib a collection of astronomy plots. I think this has lots of promise, but I'd like to see it more fully realized. Mostly only useful for astronomers...

Where else do you get your viz from? Put some links in the comments!
