Cukier’s article identifies an interesting trend about how data visualization is changing to encompass online interactive data that is alive, relegating static data visualizations as less relevant relics of the past. This evolution has been accelerated by the ubiquity of computers, tablets, smartphones and Internet-connected digital devices. It’s an interesting read at The Economist titled […]

List Vendor Adapts SaaS and Adds Revenue
