chart police! offence code 187 - meaningless axis
nowandnext (of trend blend tube map fame, which I loved) have just released
a new Innovation Timeline visualisation chart.
It's quite pretty, but what does the Y-axis represent? On top of this, it doesn't actually make things any clearer or more meaningful than a vanilla list would. Nice background though.
I have reported it to the newly formed chart police.

Oh my God you found me out! Lock me up and throw away the key!!!
Actually I was trying to figure out what then hell the other axis was myself. Originally I was trying to make it signify social impact but this got far too difficult, so I just made it look pretty instead :-)

Hi,
I've gone and done it again. Send those chart police over immediately!
