Indexed is a blog of amusing graphs and Venn diagrams created by Jessica Hagy. They are both simple and incredibly clever.
This is just one shining example of the 108 charts and graphs in the Song Chart Meme Flickr set. So much for getting anything done this afternoon.
The creator of this lovely infographic took the 10 most popular books (as provided by Facebook) at every US college that provided such information. He then factored in each college’s average SAT scores to visualize which books are read by which people. Nothing on this chart is terribly shocking or revolutionary, but it’s still fun. I am especially amused by the books which fall below the 950 mark, and are therefore lose out to “I Don’t Read”.
