In an effort to make this blog easier to use, I installed a tool called Snap Shots that
enhances links with visual previews of the destination site, interactive excerpts of Wikipedia
articles, MySpace profiles, IMDb profiles and
Amazon
products, display inline videos, RSS, MP3s,
photos, stock charts and
more.
Sometimes Snap Shots bring you the information you need, without your having to leave the site, while other times it lets you "look ahead," before deciding if you want to follow a link or not.
Should you decide this is not for you, just click the Options icon in the upper right corner of the Snap Shot and opt-out.
Hope you like it.
Visualizing Walmart's Growth
Chances are this will give you a different perspective on their impressive land-grab and expansion.
There are three simple reasons I'm looking at Walmart. Tough economic times have Americans looking to save money. Proximity is power. And that means most Americans don't have to look far to find a Walmart. So I'll be watching how they do.
Data visualization is an important tool in trading. Sometimes work skills carry-over into personal life. Watching stuff like this interests me. Not sure if that means my hobby is part of my work, or if work is part of my hobby.
