Data
One of my favorites things at the beginning of every year is the release of Nicholas Felton’s Annual Report. It is always an extremely well-designed presentation of Felton’s year as a collection of Data. You can catch the report online here: http://feltron.com/index.php?/content/2008_annual_report. Or order yourself a print copy here: http://feltron.bigcartel.com/.
Also hitting the tubes recently was the release of the “State of the Web” survey results. Collected and compile by the fine folks who bring you the Web Directions conferences, and “Scroll” magazine. You can catch the summary here: http://www.webdirections.org/blog/the-state-of-the-web-survey-results/. And the full results here: http://www.webdirections.org/the-state-of-the-web-2008/.
