Obsession of the Moment: Visual.ly

Readers, I think I have a new obsession. No, it's not my apartment (Though my new pad takes a close second--more on that later)--it's Visual.ly, a new website dedicated to infographics (like the one pictured above!). Right now, the website features a library of serious and silly infographics depicting data in visually creative ways like this graphic of America's current state of unemployment or this one about Macs vs PCs. My personal favorite? Visual.ly's Social Media Yearbook.

The best part? The website is currently working on a "lab" where users can enter data to create their own infographics like the one pictured above. Be sure to sign up for their email list for the latest updates. I can't wait for the launch.

Readers--have you checked out Visual.ly yet? What are your favorite new websites?

A Little Pinspiration

Well readers, I jumped on the Pinterest bandwagon. I wasn't quite sure what the big deal was at first, but I'm addicted, and I've only just begun! Like a virtual bulletin board, each pin holds a taste of inspiration, and it's all perfectly organized. So far I only have 4 board, but I'm sure I'll be adding more soon.

Readers, are you on Pinterest? I'd love it if you'd follow me! And if you need an invite, leave a comment below or shoot an email to challemann@gmail.com--I have a couple extras!
