Data Visualizations Of The Gaza Conflict

I am just collecting some interesting links here:

“Israel, Gaza, War & Data: social networks and the art of personalizing propaganda.” Gilad Lotan, i ❤ data, medium.com (2014/08/04) – The filter bubble of social media is illustrated very well in this article.

“Watch the Israeli-Palestinian conflict unfold online.” Al Jazeera English, n.d. – Visualization of various hashtags that emerged since June 2014, when the three Israeli youths were kidnapped and killed.

U.S. State Life Expectancy Compared To Countries Around The World [Map]

U.S. state life expectancy compared to countries around the world [map]

A compass of the United States, with state names. The original was edited by User:Andrew c to include Nova Scotia, PEI, Bahamas, and scale key.

Over at the Atlantic, there is an interesting map [not the one to the right in this article]. It compares the life expectancy in U.S. states and imposes the the names of countries around the world with a similar life expectancy onto the respective state. Thus, Mississippi becomes Syria (75 years and I am not sure whether this takes into account the ongoing bloody civil there) and California becomes Liechtenstein (81 years).

The best thing about the map: You can go to http://www.measureofamerica.org/maps/, a project of the Social Science Research Council, and see how well individual states fare by a variety of measures, such as the Human Development Index (HDI), education, health, or income.
