Meet Dadaviz: Curated, YouTube-Style Distribution Platform for Data Visualizations | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

“If I read news without dataviz I get a bit nauseous, I don’t have patience for words alone anymore. Nor infographics”. This helps explain why marketing expert and consultant León Markovitz co-founded Dadaviz, nicknamed by some as “the YouTube of data visualizations“. Online since June 11th, it’s a collection of the best dataviz selected from different sources by an invite-only community.


Want to learn the Who’s Who of political relationships in the Middle East, what’s the average commute time in the U.S. or where do the visitors of the Oktoberfest come from? This is the place to go.


Most of the published material is “curated” from external sources (the Middle East dataviz was taken from the Economist), but there’s also a certain amount of original work. Every visualization shared on Dadaviz links to the author, original link and data source, when available, so people can find out more and get more context if they wish. If someone wants to use a dataviz, they can reach directly the creators, or type “/embed” at the end of any Dadaviz link -which gives them an embed of the image with all the attribution already in place. Or they can simply share it on social media....
