The mid term election is tomorrow and there's plenty of red and blue maps out there to look at. Among the more interesting info-maps is this one available on the New York Times website. It illustrates the twitter feeds of political candidates. Various bubbles shrink and enlarge over time depending on the amount of twitter posts, re-posts, and followers.
Data visualization is a pretty hot field right now, with various artists, designers and programmers finding new ways to illustrate just about anything. Some of the best sites out there include flowing data from Nathan Yau and my favorite, information is beautiful from David McCandless. Check out his TED talk below.
Finally, have a look at MoMA's fantastic show from a few years back, Design and the Elastic Mind.
