Social media data company Simply Measured has produced this infographic to show the level of chat/interest or noise relating to last night’s Facebook f8 announcement.

A nice infographic here from Eloqua and JESS3. They’ve collaborated and created an infographic called The Blog Tree: New Growth, which celebrates a very important group of bloggers. New ones.

It turns a hackneyed "top blogs list" into a rich, playful visual that not only lists new marketing blogs, but also shows the interrelationships between and among them.
