Do ya dig the New Mediators?

August 3rd, 2009 Comments

So: The New Mediators.

Hot stuff, yo? The solution to complex infographic ideas? These guys have chops that give Edward Tufte and The New York Times infographics squad a run for their money.

But what a letdown. Where’s the beef? The data? The way to bake in the intelligence of the network—people, aggregated and curated news, comments and real time tweets? Where is it?

If you’re going to work in Flash, at least work in Flex so you can include data below those pretty pictures. (And by the way, wouldn’t it be great to be able to bring underlying Flex databases together so that you could build in a mashup with, say, Facebook? Where’s Facebook Connect in all this?)
