- Imagine A Pie Chart Stomping On An Infographic Forever: As you all probably know by now, I have a huge love for smart data visualization and infographics. This great post from SmashingMagazine.com talks about statistical literacy and the design difficulties around properly visualizing data.

- How iPod Took The World By Storm [INFOGRAPHIC]: Speaking of infographics, here's one on the revolution sparked by the iPod. Good stuff.

- The Tell-All Generation Learns When Not To, at Least Online: I picked up this NY Times piece out of Steve Rubel's Twitter stream and was encouraged. It seems that Gen Y/Millennials are now starting to navigate the waters of personal online privacy much more carefully than before. It's a necessary change of attitude. Here's the rub, though: I'm starting to see more online faux pas coming from the more recent adopters of social networks like Facebook — the older Gen Xers and Boomers.

- Think Everyone Has a Smartphone? Think Again [STATS]: Reality check for y'all that think everyone eats apps for breakfast, brushes their teeth with their iPhone and rides an iPad to work.

- McDonald’s to Use Facebook’s Upcoming Location Feature: Great article and fascinating development. Both Gowalla and Foursquare have to work hard to build awareness and a user base, which has been a big part of their efforts to date. Facebook, however, obviously doesn’t have that problem. When this launches they’re going to be an insta-gorilla. Proximity marketing…learn it and love it cause it’s going to quickly move past the early adopters and impact the mainstream in a big way very soon.
