Data for Fun


Today I came across a fun blog that I wanted to share. Not only do I love marketing and love learning about analysis, I love when others are able to present it in a creative and fun way. The blog, à la data, promotes data literacy. His attractive data visualizations are made even more enjoyable because of topics they cover. I’m a big fan of his Game of Thrones post.  I especially loved this chart of the most talked about Game of Thrones characters, but mostly because Tyrion Lannister is a fantastic character and I was happy to see he won the popularity prize!

From à la data's blog post: Game of Thrones à la data 

The writer of à la data gathered his data using Sysomos, a dashboard that lets you view and collect relevant online conversations. This type of information lets markets see what people are talking about, what is trendy, who are thought leaders, or make cool data visualizations about tv shows!


Here is an informative video about Sysomos:
