Visually Launches, Plans to Revolutionize Infographics
If the future is infographics (which is arguably the case), Visually is the future. Visually is a community for infographics and their designers, producers and viewers. TechCrunch reports that it’s the biggest collection of infographics on the internet, according to creator Stewart Langille. The site was launched today by Langille and Lee Sherman, with about $500,000 in funding and plans to allow users to create infographics by combining their data with Visually’s artists’ graphics.
