It’s that part of the year when we’re inundated with predictions, look-backs and best-of’s, like the recent video Google did on search and Twitter‘s report on conversations and trends. Facebook takes a more personal approach and, in addition to the global Zeitgeist, gives you highlights from your own timeline. And in case you missed them, here’s a list of the top viral videos.
All of these are brief, but pleasant strolls down memory lane; nostalgia-light for the events of the past 12 months. (And yes, I click on those links every time.)
This year, in keeping with their move to be more of an image-centric platform, Twitter partnered with Vizify, a company that slices and dices social data and presents infographic-style results. Give Vizify permission to access your Twitter account then add other social networks like LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and your blog to generate a pictorial snapshot of your online persona. Your own personal Vizification.
Here’s mine.
With its movement and simple, bubbly interface, Vizify feels like a mashup of About.me and Prezi. I like the final product and, as someone who’s always been text-first, I’m learning to appreciate, respect and embrace the visual world. Maybe going visual should be my resolution for 2013.
What do you think about Vizify and the movement to a more picture-focused, less wordy online experience?
