The Top 5 Visualizations Of 2009

There can never be too many top-whatever lists, yeah? Here, FlowingData presents the best five data visualizations of the last year.

Taking the top spot is a time-lapse visualization of Darwin’s “The Origin of Species,” showing how the book evolved through the six editions published in Darwin’s lifetime. It was done by Ben Fry.

We’d probably re-arrange the order of these visualizations a little: the VMA Tweet Tracker, which received Honorable Mention on FlowingData’s list, should have scored much higher.
