Those of us at Shore who have a love for statistics and the presentation of quantitative information (and who doesn’t, really?), the TED talks given by Hans Rosling have been among our favourites. Well, a version of the software that he used in those talks is available online for free at and will let you “unveil the beauty of statistical time series”.

Bing Destination Map: Automatic Napkin Sketching of Maps – information aesthetics.
This is a pretty good example of a couple of design principles that are close to our hearts:
1. Reduce clutter so that users focus on information they care about
2. Make it easy for users to find what they’re looking for.
3. Find any excuse to play with maps. 
It’ll be interesting to see how google maps responds.

There are some terrific interface ideas here that have applications beyond magazine publishing. Our relationship with traditional printed content is so comfortable that we forget about the medium (book, magazine). The challenge is to get to the same point with electronic media – it seems that when we access content electronically we are always reminded that we’re using a piece of technology.
Anyway – the interface demoed here seems pretty natural to use.
