A friend asked me to check out Wefeelfine and I was just flabbergasted on seeing the concept and the execution. I looked further and browsed through umpteen examples of data visualization and each one of them is cool to say the least.
I'm at home and currently nothing interesting do. Can anyone give me some pointers as to where I can start learning about data visualization. Any books, blogs or other resources would be great.
Thanks.

Avoid creating cluttered visualizations. However, cramming too much visual information into a single graphic is a common mistake Data Analysts make. Cluttered visualizations that include too many visual elements, such as multiple text boxes and graphic layers, lead to audience confusion.
These stages are exploration, analysis, synthesis, and presentation.
A look at the future of data visualizationFuture trends will have machine learning and AI utilize their Natural Language Processing capabilities to generate insights. AR and VR will provide visual controllers making it possible for the viewers to explore data on a new level.
Books by Edward Tufte are considered classic. Start with "Visual Display of Quantitative Information". William Cleveland is recommended a lot, but a bit more old-school. Check out Ben Fry, Nick Felton, John Maeda, or many others that I am leaving out. There are also many good blogs, such as:
Information Aesthetics
Information is Beautiful
Flowing Data
Visual Complexity
Visualizing.org
And there are tons of packages out there, like matplotib, protovis, ggplot2, circos, etc...
