So you want to make an awesome infographic, but you aren’t sure where to start. Capsicum Mediaworks has 27 (Secrets) on How To Create An Awesome Viral Infographic in 2023.

This is definitely and example of “Do what I say, not what I do”.

There’s some fantastic information here! Ironically, this is NOT a great infographic. Saving a bunch of text as a JPG file does not make a good infographic. This infographic design goes against some of their own best advice! More visuals, less text. Make it big, not gigantic. Highlight/focus on the important points.

Which is why infographics have become such a big deal.

The pictorial representation of the data, colorful backgrounds, short, to-the-point text, and easy to understand themes, are just some of the reasons why infographics have surpassed other digital marketing strategies in terms of popularity. And they are definitely here to stay.

So if you haven't jumped on this bandwagon yet, it's high time you do!

Nedstat launch their Sector Stats programme, collating industry wide statistics about Institutional Web site activity, to be presented at IWMW 2006. [2006-02-17]

Details of Nedstat's Sector Stats Project are now available. [2005-10-14]

A fly-poster for Institutional Web Management Workshop 2007 has been put up on the wall at the Eduserv Foundation Symposium 2007 and blogged about in Andy Powell's SecondLife blog. [2007-05-14]

David Burden, Managing Director, DADENLIMITED and Marieke Guy, UKOLN will consider questions like: Can chatbots make sites more accessible or do they break fundamental usability rules? Do users like them, or find them irritating or even patronising? Are they the next best thing or a 5 minute wonder? Can they really benefit the education sector? Can a chatbot ever really learn?

Ranjit Sidhu from Nedstat gave a talk about how after discussions with various people in the education sector it became clear that there was a requirement for some industry wide statistics about Web site activity. These Sector Statistics will provide organisations, specifically universities, with a means of benchmarking the performance of their Web site.
