A golden age of visuals

I just subscripbed to yet another visual blog. There seem to be more and more sources that focus on making information available in a form that's easily and quickly digestable. All-in-all, I think that's a good thing. Here is my current list.
EconomPicData

FlowingData

Gapminder

Information is Beautiful

Strange Maps

VisualEconomics

VisualScience
I had expected to find more in my list. (I excluded all the stock market charting sites.) But that's all there were.

Besides these, there is all sorts of economic data. For example, The NYFed regularly publishes an enormous number of data series. So does the Dept. of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis.

I like the strangemaps website. I am doing something similar to the first two posts using google maps to create a visual report of crime in the city I live in.
