The best places to share data visualizations online

Many people who make data visualizations want to share them online. Sometimes they can even go viral!

If you're trying to build content, followers, revenue... or just trying to share neat graphs, you should be sharing your data visualizations online!

Here are our favorite places to find fresh and new data visualizations, graphs, charts, maps, and infographics:

7. Facebook

Social networks should be your first go-to place to promote your data visualization work! Facebook may not be the coolest social network these days, but it's the largest! Start a facebook page specifically for your data viz work, or post directly on your own wall.

6. Twitter

Twitter is still the hottest social network for sharing data visualizations. Be sure to use eye-catching hashtags for your projects, such as #dataviz

5. blogs!

Blogs are so 2007. However, many people still read them, and they can generate both revenue and street cred in the data viz world.
Tip: If you post graphs to your blog regularly you will get higher conversion rates from your readers!

4. plot.ly

This is a relatively new website that allows you to collaboratively make plots and graphs. Check out their gallery for some amazing examples of great data visualizations!

3. Many Eyes

This is the brain-child of IBM, and has been around for many years. Rumor is IBM is putting effort back in to Many Eyes again! Anyone can post graphs or data explorations on this site.

2. visual.ly

Visual.ly is the web's #1 place for infographics. Click through their massive library of amazing infographics, and say goodbye to hours of your free time! However, don't just limit yourself to sharing traditional infographics. Many people also post very complex graphs here as well.
