There is a horse in the Apple Store and no one sees it but me.

If Social Media Sites Were... Neighbors?
There are times when visualizations are used to establish an understandable overview, break down a subject to materialize into a clear perspective, or group data sets together in a way that is easily perceivable. Then, there are times when infographics are just fun.

It’s crazy to think that I am posting something from the Huffington Post, but this is actually a nice list of difference. Not exactly “journalism” in that it’s a couple of paragraphs and a list, but at least it’s informative.
