Infographic of self-reference in Beatles songs

Over at mikemake.com is an awesome collection of Beatles themed infographics.

These visualizations are part of an extensive study of the music of the Beatles. Many of the diagrams and charts are based on secondary sources, including but not limited to sales statistics, biographies, recording session notes, sheet music, and raw audio readings.

In particular, the one below is a diagram of self-references in Beatles songs. Click through to see it larger.

It’s an ongoing project that will eventually live at chartingthebeatles.com.

This is a pretty badass infographic. I read about it on “Cool Infographics,” a blog I like enough to put in my Google Reader.

It’s obviously in the form of a subway map, but what it represents is a blogroll of websites that all deal with infographics, making it terrifically meta! A subway map of infographic websites!

The blogs are grouped into categories such as Visualization, Humor, and Mind Mapping, and those categories are represented as subway lines modeled after the Paris metro. The designer is a French fellow named Claude Aschenbrenner (SerialMapper.com). If you’re literate in French you can read more about it (Link, Link).

This awesome jewelry is crafted to display a line graph of the price over time of the material in which the jewelry was constructed (i.e. the price of gold, in gold.)

The jewelry collection is sold by an advertising firm. Totally stylish, self-referential infographics.

Maybe they’ll start including scatter plots soon!

Customizable self-referential bar graph

Suppose you want to make a cute, self-referential bar graph depicting say, the number of snakes in the backyard per month…..with snakes! Or what if you want to plot the number of farts that have been farted during coitus by past lovers….with stink lines!

Well lucky ~~you~~ me— someone made such a code, and kindly submitted it to the Google Visualization API gallery. It’s called Bars Of Stuff. The open source code is available here.

Ok, well… stink linkes are not a supported image. But you can choose from the following:

    Train
    Chocolate
    Rope
    Truffle
    Worm
    Horse

Visualize your social networking within Flickr

This application takes your Flickr username and makes a graph depicting your social interactions on Flickr. Or someone else’s Flickr username, if that’s how you roll.

Geek Charts

Geek Charts is a service where you put in someone else’s username on sites like Flickr, Twitter, Youtube, etc and it creates a colorful pie chart depicting “where you share.”

I’m assuming it only tracks publicly posted content (you don’t need to enter passwords to create a pie chart). It’s in beta right now, and it doesn’t yet include social networks like Facebook or Myspace.

No word yet on whether it will differentiate original posts from redundant auto-posts (i.e. a tweet that links your blog post).
