GOOD Transparencies Archive
GOOD Magazine's transparency archive at Flickr is a feast for the eyes and candy for the brain. Check it out.
Once weekly, GOOD Magazine posts an infographic, or a “transparency”, visualizing everything from the amount of our national acreage controlled by major retail chains (below) to the length of time people spend on popular email clients. They have now created a flickr archive of them all.

While I applaud their innovation in using infographics, I find that many of their attempts fall short of actually conveying information in a more meaningful manner and instead make interpretation of the data far more difficult.
Infographics must be looked at critically to see if they aid in the understanding of information, instead of mere eye candy.
