Data360 – Open Visualizations

Got a presentation coming up and need some data for a graph?  Well, Data360 aims to please with their open data collection.

Data360 is an open-source, non-profit and free website. The site hosts a common and shared database, from which any organization which is committed to neutrality and non-partisanship (meaning “let the data speak”), can use the site for presentation of their reports and visualizations about the data.

They’ve got a great collection of visualizations and datasets, all freely available.  Some of the charts we’ve covered before as they come from the New York Times or USA Today, but there is a lot of new material there.
