A blog putting pop culture into visulations...

Graph Jam (http://graphjam.com/) is a blog I find particularly interesting in that it is user generated and shows graphs in a way unique to the readers. I personally have enjoyed seeing new ways to graph data that I have not envisioned before. Most graphs are simple line or bar graphs (and venn-diagrams) that display something relating to pop culture. But occasionally there will be something unique that breaks out of the mold of what a graph is "supposed" to be. One such example highlighting this is a user showing what their perceived ingredients in Snapple are: http://graphjam.com/2010/04/05/funny-graphs-in-snapple/ Finally Graph Jam provides a “chart builder”, which allows users to easily create their own custom visualizations.
