From Shan Carter, Amanda Cox, Kevin Quealy, and Amy Schoenfeld of The New York Times is this new interactive stacked time series on how different groups in America spend their day. The data itself comes from the American Time Use Survey. The interactive has a similar feel to Martin Wattenberg’s Baby Name Voyager, but it has the NYT pizazz that we’ve all come to know and love.

Explore time use by gender, race, age, education, and employment. View all activities (e.g. work, traveling) or select a specific action to drill down into the graph. From there, you’ll find time aggregates that you can compare against depending on what filter you’ve selected.

  • Why Your Content Marketing Will Fail 5 Reasons
  • You Believed the Biggest Myth Content Marketing Ever Told the World #1
  • We Imagine Content Marketing Works Like This… Let’s go see what’s on the Internet today, shall we?
  • I wonder what this post Kieran tweeted is all about.
  • That was an interesting. I should sign up for this free ebook download while I’m here!
  • And I’ll just fill out their contact form with my information….
  • Oh! Better not forget to follow all their social profiles while I’m at it.
  • You might laugh, but a lot of companies invest in content marketing on the assumption that this is how it works! Me make content. Humans click. Them buy. Me get money.
  • In Reality, It Works Like This: Let’s see what’s on Hacker News… Meh.
  • How about Facebook? Oh, right. Baby pictures.
  • Let’s try Twitter. Meh.
  • Maybe Google+? Actually… This looks kinda interesting.
  • After seeing 400+ links I could have clicked, I finally chose this one. It’s a good article, and this example, naturally, resonated 
  • I wonder why I like this blog so much? About a week later, I caught a link to Beardbrand’s blog.
  • No magic trick to grow a thicker beard?! Dammit! I’d followed them on Google+, so I watched this video they shared, too.
  • When my lovely wife told me that I might need to look into some mustache wax, I thought of Beardbrand. But I couldn’t remember their name! Lovely Wife Imminent need for mustache wax Who were those guys that made the cool beard stuff?
  • So, naturally, I searched Google: Nope Nope Nope Yes!!
  • A Perfect Match!
  • Say goodbye bushy handlebars!
  • This is How Content Marketing Really Works: Caveman Rand explain.
  • This is How Content Marketing Really Works: Me Make Content. Humans click. If them like, them remember. Maybe them see more content I make. Visit again. Me build trust, relationship with humans. When them need me product, them come back.
  • Content marketing not about convert 1st visit. Or 2nd. Or 3rd. Only foolish humans think it work like this.
  • Content marketing about earning familiarity, trust, and relationship.
  • Maybe sale come. Maybe not. Smart cave marketer no care. Smart cave marketer know every visit chance to build relationship. Maybe earn fan. That good enough.
  • The Obligation Rests on Marketers to Set the Right Expectations with Our Teams & Clients
  • You Made Content Without a Community #2
  • Does Content Spread Simply Because It’s Really, Really Good? If this content’s really good, it’ll just spread “virally,” right guys?
  • OK, Probably Not Ha! That’s a good one, Rand!
  • In My Experience, Content Spreads Because It Inspires a Community
  • It Reinforces a Belief
  • Refutes an Opposing Argument
  • Starts (or Renews) a Passionate Discussion
  • Is in Someone’s Financial/Promotional Interests
  • Leverages Group Inclusion Dynamics
  • Makes the Sharer Look Smart/Important/Worldly/Etc
  • “Good Enough” Content Often Performs Well when a Community Is Behind It
  • Only the Best 0.1% of Content Can Go “Viral” without a Pre-existing Community
  • Don’t Bet Your Marketing on Being the 1 in 1,000
  • Before you create content, ask the question: “Who will support & amplify this content and why?”
  • You Invested in Content Creation, But Not in its Amplification #3
  • Content Must Reach People in Order to Reach Its Potential
  • Channels for Reaching the Right People Depend on Your Audience
  • Most Amplification Methods Fall Into These Three Buckets: Broadcast 1:1 Paid Promotion
  • 1) Broadcast (often via Social Media, Email, or through Events)
  • 2) 1:1 Outreach (via Social, Email, or In- Person)
  • 3) Paid Amplification (many varieties)
  • A basic process for getting content amplification right:
  • STEP 1: Find Successful Content in Your Niche http://buzzsumo.com
  • STEP 2(a): Find Where It’s Being Shared http://buzzsumo.com
  • STEP 2(b): Go Beyond Social Networks Google Search and https://freshwebexplorer.moz.com/

  • STEP 4: Build Relationships with Those Who Can Help http://www.slideshare.net/RickTRamos1/why-do-peopleshareonline
  • Don’t Treat Amplification as “Fire & Forget.” Experiment, Learn, & Apply. Via http://bit.ly
  • Think of Each Channel Like a Muscle to Be Flexed & Strengthened Regularly
  • Don’t Forget to Leverage What is Still the Most Powerful Sharing Channel (according to NYT): http://www.slideshare.net/RickTRamos1/why-do-peopleshareonline
  • You Ignored Content’s Most Powerful Channel: SEO #4
  • Google Search Has Grown Massively ~6 Billion Searches/Day! http://www.statisticbrain.com/google-searches/
  • While Search Traffic is Distributed, Social is Highly Concentrated http://www.simplereach.com/blog/facebook-continues-to-be-the-biggest-driver-of-social-traffic/
  • You Might Have Seen Re/Code & Buzzfeed Claiming Google Search Traffic Was Dead http://recode.net/2014/02/02/the-year-facebook-blew-past-google/
  • Here’s Define Media Group refuting that with data from 87 publishers & 48 billion pageviews http://www.definemg.com/hey-buzzfeed-search-traffic-is-doing-just-fine/
  • SEO is Also Critical Because of Intent “Do things” mode “Browse” mode
  • When Done Right, Content Marketing is the Rising Tide that Lifts the SEO Ships Without content marketing, it’s incredibly hard to earn the types of links that will confer domain authority & rankings in search engines.
  • When Done Right, Content Marketing is the Rising Tide that Lifts the SEO Ships But as content on a site earns links, it helps every other page on that domain rank better in the search engines, lifting the tide!
  • At the Very Least, Do Your Keyword Research Be aware that AdWords may not show you all the relevant keywords: http://moz.com/blog/be-careful-using-adwords-for-keyword-research

  • In Reality, It Looks More Like This: Geraldine’s Travel Blog: http://everywhereist.com
  • Geraldine started her blog in 2009 In Reality, It Looks More Like This:
  • For 2 years, she never broke 100 visits/day. In Reality, It Looks More Like This:
  • Then she had a few posts get some attention In Reality, It Looks More Like This:
  • But traffic fell back down soon after. In Reality, It Looks More Like This:
  • This is where most people give up. In Reality, It Looks More Like This:
  • These days, she gets 100,000+ visits each month In Reality, It Looks More Like This:
  • The Price of Success is Failure after Failure after Failure * Hopefully, each of those failures provides an opportunity to learn. *

Poverty and Race in America

Uma boa representação gráfica interactiva

Uma boa representação gráfica interactiva

Strategies to tackle poverty, inequality, and neighborhood distress must be informed by local data. The history, geography, and politics of individual metro regions all matter profoundly, and any serious policy strategy must be tailored to local realities.
To help take the policy conversation from the general to the specific, we offer a new mapping tool. It lets you explore changes from 1980 to 2010 in where poor people of different races and ethnicities lived, for every metropolitan region nationwide.
Understanding how the geography of poverty has changed can provide essential context for answering questions like: Are some poor neighborhoods isolated from the region’s job opportunities? What would it take to connect them? Where should family support services be targeted? Which neighborhoods should be prioritized for improvements in essential amenities and opportunities? How can poor people across the metro landscape be better connected to the services and opportunities they seek?
For metro regions to systematically reduce poverty and expand opportunity, local civic and political leaders, advocates, and practitioners should start by sitting down together to understand the evolving realities of poverty, race, and place in their communities. We hope our maps help catalyze these conversations.

Exploring the reach, frequency and impact of terrorism around the world

The data used in this tool comes from the Global Terrorism Database, the most comprehensive collection of terrorism data available.

GeographyThe 25 groups included here have been active in 73 countries on five continents. Of these, the country targeted by the most groups has been France: Al-Qa`ida, Basque Fatherland and Freedom, Hizballah, The IRA, and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party. The group with the greatest geographic spread is Hizballah, responsible for terrorism in 17 countries.
YearsOn average, these top 25 groups have been active almost 19 years (during this time frame), while all other groups have been active just over 2 years.
WoundedThe 25 groups listed here are responsible for 48% of all known wounded victims, with ISIS being responsible for the most wounded (10,585). However, Al-Qa`ida is more effective, wounding 230 per event on average.
KilledOf the total verified fatalities, over half (83,896, or 56%) are attributed to the 25 groups listed here. The greatest number of deaths by these groups, 6,857, happened in 2013.

Jobs by college major

This is a quick Sankey visualization of how college majors relate to professions, based on data from the American Community survey. On the left are the largest college majors; to the right are the most common professions.

To see broad fields like “Sciences” and “Humanities”, see the edited version of this page.

The width of each stream shows how many people with that major are in that field. (The color shows whether that’s more or fewer people than expected based on how big the major is: hover over to see just how many more it is.) The width of each stream shows how many people with that major are in that field. (The color shows whether that’s more or fewer people than expected based on how big the major is).

You surely see that the lines are too small to understand in most cases: to actually see what’s going on with a particular field or job, click on a box and the chart will filter down to just the people who either majored in the field, or ended up employed in the job. (Click on one of the connecting lines to see both at once.)

I have not developed this that far because I am not sure how useful it ultimately is: my basic goal was a quick way to see, for example, what jobs history majors ended up in. (Largest is lawyers, but also schoolteachers; what you would expect, but worth knowing.)

You might also like my visualization of changing college degrees over time.

Wi-fi revealed

Mostrar o invisivel como as ondas eletromagnéticas criadas pelo wi-fi

Digital Ethereal is a project that explores wireless, making what’s typically invisible visible and tangible. In the piece above, a handheld sensor is used to detect the strength of Wi-Fi signal from a personal hotspot. A person waves the sensor around the area, and long-exposure photography captures the patterns.

Reminds me of the Immaterials project from a while back, which used a light stick to represent signal strength rather than a signal light.

Warm and cold weather anomalies

Mais um exemplo de boas visualizações, agora com dados de clima

Mais um exemplo de boas visualizações, agora com dados de clima

This year’s polar vortex churned up some global warming skeptics, but as we know, it’s more useful to look at trends over significant spans of time than isolated events. And, when you do look at a trend, it’s useful to have a proper baseline to compare against.

To this end, Enigma.io compared warm weather anomalies against cold weather anomalies, from 1964 to 2013. That is, they counted the number of days per year that were warmer than expected and the days it was colder than expected.

An animated map leads the post, but the meat is in the time series. There’s a clear trend towards more warm.

Since 1964, the proportion of warm and strong warm anomalies has risen from about 42% of the total to almost 67% of the total – an average increase of 0.5% per year. This trend, fitted with a generalized linear model, accounts for 40% of the year-to-year variation in warm versus cold anomalies, and is highly significant with a p-value approaching 0.0. Though we remain cautious about making predictions based on this model, it suggests that this yearly proportion of warm anomalies will regularly fall above 70% in the 2030’s.

Explore in full or download the data and analyze yourself. Nice work. [Thanks, Dan]
