Visualizing Multidimensional Data

Bernard Kerr, the designer for Delicious, talks about threads, tags and visualizations at Innovations Forum. It's a very interesting presentation covering, among other things, IBM's Remail, thread arcs, and Tag Orbitals.

Some lessons he wants the audience members to take home:
- When you are working on visualizing multidimensional data, you cannot use all dimensions, instead you must focus on one or two dimensions. If you focus on more than 1 or 2 dimensions, you'll end up with a spaghetti.
- Get real data into visualization as soon as you can.
- Try illustrator for quickly visualizing.
