I think most of you might have overlooked the fact that this was created by the NYTimes... the publications need more of this stuff. It is so fricken cool.

Investing in Interactivity is a great solution to survive.

Ever since Khoi Vinh joined NYT in 2006, they've been producing some of the best interactive design on the web. One of my recent favorites[1] showed how tennis strategy was affected by the different surfaces.

I was impressed with their interactive graphic of the Buffalo plane crash[1]. I'm pleased to hear that such graphics are common.

How do they make money from it? It's definitely cool, but I certainly didn't click any ads there. And making that stuff costs money.

They could easily integrate real estate listings into a map like this. "Not sure you want to live within one block of three gang shootings? Call Smith Real Estate Associates today!"
