It’s been a busy year for us. We started infogr.am in February and tirelessly worked to make you each of you feel welcome in our community. Here’s some data on how the infogr.am team has spent 2012. And we wish you an exciting New 2013!
Infographic: 1 Year in Life of Infogr.am
Treemaps are a great choice of chart type if you want to visualize the components of a process, organization, product which consists of a lot of elements where a piechart would be unreadable. You may have seen great examples, like Dave Maccandless’ Billion-dollar-graph. Or the one below? We’ll show you how you can simply create a tree map by yourself using infogr.am
Yesterday morning the 200 000th infographic made with infogr.am
We’re thrilled by the activity of our users! This makes infogr.am the fastest growing data visualization community on the planet. It is a clear mark that data visualization becomes more accessible to everyone of us, not just designers.
The previous mark of 100k infographics published was reached just 2 months ago.
Data is more and more coming into every industry. People without time, skills and budget to visualize data must publish them online. Here’s where infogr.am comes in to help. Creating infographics with infogr.am is so easy that even your granny can do it.
Infogr.am is a free, super-easy infographic creator. Users can create interactive infographics and charts with a few clicks, place them in article, blog post or share with friends.
We just updated our Charts site. Look how many amazingly beautiful charts you can now create with infogr.am All of them are combinable in cool, animated infographics as you may expect. Everything from a simple bar chart to treemaps, word clouds, stream graphs and gauge. Fine-tuned for data journalism needs.

A faster, better infogr.am in the cloud.
We promised last week that we’ll look for a better hosting. And landed on one of most advanced cloud services out there - AWS. This means, infogr.am is now much faster. And with a nearly 100% uptime guarantee (99.5% to be precise according to our AWS contract).

Hey there! We got 2 invitations for you to go to Arctic15 in Helsinki - the largest tech conference in Northern Europe that has chosen infogr.am as “Best new start-up of 2012”.
Tickets were given to us by the good people at Arctic15 and we just want to give them away to you. As we just have 2 tickets, we have to select you somehow. So here’s the deal.
If you want a free ticket here’s what you have to do:
1. Go to Twitter
2. Tweet us @infogram why you’d like to go to Arctic15 (we’re not asking you to spam or RT anything. But please make sure to follow us for time being so we can contact you via DM)
We’ll notify selected users personally. Don’t send us emails or FB messages, please use Twitter.
Invitation is for 2nd day of event only. Please note that we will give just one ticket per person. And that we just have 2 tickets in total. And that this is not a contest, Arctic15 gave us the tickets and we’ll simply pick two most interesting tweets to give those away. And we’re very subjective in our decision. Also, please note that we’ll not cover any of your travel or accommodation expanses in connection with this event. You have to go to Helsinki by yourself. And you’ll have to wear warm clothes, it’s cold up there:)

You have most likely noticed shortage of our service over last 2 days.
Our web hosting service has had days and days of problems that lead to new unimaginable problems with data storage. Our backup plans even failed. We are currently doing everything we can to solve these problems.
This should never happen to you so we have scheduled moving infogr.am to Amazon Web Services by the end of next week. AWS will be much more reliable and stable. You should also notice increase of overall loading and response speed of our application. Meanwhile we’re doing our best to assure our service is up and running as soon as possible.
Our sincere apologise. Feel free to drop us a line to hello@infogr.am
