The Power of Visualizing Data
March 30th, 2011
User Experience Design, Visual Design
I recently came across Hipmunk, just one more site to search for flights, right? Actually, the ability to visualize search results on a familiar calendar spreadsheet instantly sets this site apart.
Large amounts of data can be consumed instantly and made more meaningful by simply presenting them in a visual fashion. I also love how the default sort option is ‘Agony’ which clearly indicates the length of flights and layovers. I suggest giving it a try.

Thanks for the tip, I used the site and it really was the best way to schedule my flights. I wouldn’t have guessed that I liked it that much, but trying is believing.
