What is the best way to share infographics?
More Thoughts From Baseball Visualization Challenge 2016
This week’s submissions have been inspiring. On Twitter, we were treated to this submission from Doug Duffy. It is the first original work to be submitted to #BaseballViz2016.
Doug opted to host his own content. His submission is interactive, so possibly there was little other choice. But it got us thinking, for infographics that aren’t interactive what is the best platform for sharing?
It is a great platform for sharing pictures. It is also the inspiration of another baseball infographic submitted this week George Earl, included on the cover image. But is this mobile-centric platform optimal for infographics?
One of the world’s most popular social sites and certainly has the greatest reach, but is Facebook really where you want to share infographics?
While possibly better suited for professional content like infographics, LinkedIN often struggles with larger images. Functions like Slideshare may provide better capabilities and encourage more usage.
One of our favorite platforms, Pinterest is easy and adds plenty of additional functionality. The platform is a little harder to organize than some. Is Pinterest the ideal platform?
Pearltrees
This platform is one we use often internally. It is very dynamic and has great organizational capabilities. Pearltrees is probably the least well-known of the platforms we’ve listed, but is infographics a good niche?
Tumblr
A very rich visual platform, Tumblr certainly deserves consideration. It is not typically thought of in many professional circles but the platform has a lot of solid functionality for supporting infographic sharing.
