Resume visualation site

I was intrigued when I first read about this site, Visualize.me, which is a startup that will take your LinkedIn data and turn it into a spiffy, visually oriented resume.

I have mixed thoughts: On one hand, I think it's a neat idea. On the other, anytime an app wants to muck around in my data on a social networking service, I give it serious thought, scrutiny and research.(Not to mention that if you use it, you're going to have to go into Linked-in and make sure your data is clean or that you clean it up and make sure it is exact on things like expertise, something that can be time consuming.)

So we'll see. For now, if you want to look at the promo stuff:

That code on the end I think is supposed to track the number of people I refer. So if you don't want that, I perfectly understand, just use http://vizualize.me.

As someone noted in the comments on that post, this still probably isn't for the HR dept. that wants to scan in your resume for keywords, but it might impress the hiring manager if you can get past the HR gantlet.

Data visualization in sports

I'm of the camp that says data visualization is one of those "skills" that j-school grads are going to have to be familiar with. (Remember, familiar does NOT mean everyone must be an expert, but that you have to know about it to communicate with those who can help you pull it off.)

Here's an interesting data viz from the Syracuse-Morgan State game.
