Social network fan count visualization of SXSW artists 


[Full screen]

The visualization is an interactive chart that allows you by clicking on bubbles to navigate SXSW artists’ number of fans on social networks like Facebook, MySpace, Last.fm, Twitter, Youtube. For the best experience, please use browser Google Chrome. It will be quite slow on Firefox and other browsers.

This force-based bubble chart is built by me and my colleagues Matt, Guillaumes, Matteo in 2 days at Guardian SXSW hackday, Feb 2011. Hope you have fun playing with it and any feedback to make it better is welcome. In case you want to put it in your own sites, the embedding code is below:
