Some charting websites

Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert comic, has a great blog site. Scott's comments are typically interesting and entertaining. Recently he blogged about how useful charts are at explaining concepts and this triggered a huge response from his followers.

I have harvested the following links to sites on charts. Some are great, some are not.

• Ross Perot founded Electronic Data Systems and made two substantial campaigns to become the President of the United States. He has built a fortune worth about $5 billion. He has set up a web site called Perot Charts which makes use of clear, effective charts to provide information about the US economy.
• Graphjam makes amusing charts but they are not clean and crisp. Amusement value only.
• A depressing chart showing similarities between 1929 stock market and today is available here.
• Mark Perry is an economist who makes good use of charts to explain the US economy.
