A funny and very interesting bit of infographics here, that uses data from facebook to map frequency of relationship break ups across the year. Some interesting patterns are clearly visible, and some interesting observations about them! on a more serious note, the accessibility of this type of data is really driving this new wave of infographics, and I think its one of the most interesting areas of communication design right now. Such images have the potential to give brilliant insight into cultural and social phenomena and trends, and this access to data is opening up all sorts of opportunities to observe such trends in more detail.
