Last week, Warren wrote about Apple's underwhelming visualisation of the carbon footprint of the iPhone 4S. Of course, the launch of the product was almost immediately overshadowed by the untimely death of one of Apple's founders, Steve Jobs. Here at Thunderfly, we have often held up Steve as an example of an excellent presentational approach, and so it seems fitting to mark his passing by pointing out a tribute based on data visualisation, put together by Twitter - the place where I, and many others, found out the news. In the days after Jobs' death, as many as 5 of the top 10 trending hashtags referred to him, so Twitter collated the following image, made up of tweets under the "#thankyousteve" hashtag. Although not without its faults, this image is a moving demonstration of the impact that Jobs has had on the modern world.
