This SXSW dataviz piece seems to be getting a lot of play as awesome or amazing. I don’t get it. I love dataviz but see this one as little more than momentary novelty. What insight is revealed by this piece? Little more than what you would already expect: people using various location-based apps within a relatively confined area of Austin, TX (and using the Bump App more than is OK). I hope they’re able to compile and interpret this data in a more meaningful way at some point…or hire me to give it a go.
