Thought I would share my collection of RSS feeds with everyone. This is a great source of inspiration, and a knowledge bank as well for those who work in the field.

Great list with some I’d not heard of before. One that I really like that you might not have heard of is Tim’s Data Blog: http://www.timgraham.net/tg/blogs/data/. Others you might be interested in are Map Scroll, Visualizing Economics, and Visual Journalism. My blog is not an exclusively infographic blog, but I subscribe to TONS of blogs, so I post some of the most interesting infographics I find, many of which come from fairly obscure blogs.
nrapp June 9th, 2009 at 09:45

Thanks Justin. Added Tim’s blog and your blog to the list.
Jess June 16th, 2009 at 22:45

Great list… my blog is pretty good too, for original infographic stuff. Hope you don’t mind my self-serving post

Sorry Jess, I thought you were already in there.
nrapp June 17th, 2009 at 07:13

Actually, you are in it already, in the W.

Hi Nicolas -

It’s such a great overview, that I would be honoured to have the website visualjournalism.com make an appearance on the list. What do you think?
nrapp June 19th, 2009 at 07:44

Sure man, that makes sense. I knew I would forget links.

Wonderful. Had heard of a couple but many more useful ones here.
Paul Bradshaw July 6th, 2009 at 04:34

I was halfway through copying all these into my reader before I realised there must be a better way…

I’ve created an OPML file of all these feeds with information on how to get them into an RSS reader at http://onlinejournalismblog.com/2009/07/06/best-rss-feeds-for-information-graphics-in-one-lovely-opml-file/
