futurejournalismproject: An infographic is only as good as its dataset. Without figures, there is no story, just a  nifty—albeit inconclusive—image. And while some tech companies can be notoriously tight-lipped about product releases and other information (we’re looking at you Facebook), one of the most unconventional, but revealing datasets that companies readily provide are their press releases. In this February post from ReadWriteWeb, writer Pete Warden data-mines press releases from Apple, Google and Microsoft to surface trends in their corporate strategy, based on word frequency in publicly available comments. The wordles Warden created show the concentration of words and concepts, and reveals that Apple is still focused on the Mac brand, while YouTube is at the heart of Google’s public pronouncements (from its official blog), along with “search” (obviously), and “mobile.” Microsoft’s focus appears to be spread across “technology,” “health,” “solutions,” and business-related initiatives.

lolololori: Google has thrown its support behind a contest that searches for ways to map out the U.S. government’s esoteric spending patterns. Called “Data Viz Challenge,” the contest has been assembled by the Eyebeam Art and Technology Center, a digital-arts collective headquartered a stone’s throw from Google’s Manhattan satellite office, and promises $5,000 to the entrant who can best “visualize how your individual federal income taxes are spent.” Winners will be announced, fittingly, on April 18—the day that tax returns are due. The data is to be sourced from WhatWePayFor.com, a site created to break down how individual tax payments are spent. Interested participants can show up at Eyebeam on Saturday for an event designed to kick things off and provide resources on behalf of Eyebeam fellows and employees of Google Creative Lab, which describes itself as “a small team that strives to re-think marketing across every kind of media - currently existing or not, with Google as its sole client.” (via Google backs tax-transparency challenge | The Social - CNET News)
