Walmart growth visualization

Posted in structured data, visualization by mikelove on April 22, 2008

Will Moffat and Brendan showed me this video of the growth of Walmart, generated from Freebase data by Toby Segaran, who wrote Programming Collective Intelligence.  It’s a good example of using Freebase to its full potential.

He also has an unrelated, but interesting post about scraping craigslist w4m postings from 5 cities and analyzing which words best discriminate which cities.
