What Killed The Infographic?

What Killed The Infographic? is a nice article by Mark Wilson on fastcodesign.com - it's worth reading over the entire piece, but here are a few nuggets:

• Data viz has gone corporate.
• The (data) viz geek is being replaced by the data geek as good data viz is now much easier with products like D3 and Tableau.
• Simple is often better on mobile devices (e.g. simple bar charts are hip again).

Pretty much all of that applies to maps as well (which, in some ways, are a type of infographic).
