I feel like this site would be a lot better if it didn't purport to be an infographic creation tool at all.

The core concept of infographic templates is completely flawed. Infographics are supposed to be designed around the data which they wish to represent, so how could one design work for various sets of data? Sure you can categorize and make themes for say food or finance, but what about the scale of data? Wouldn't that be completely unique to every case?

"Create free custom infographics in seconds" should be a huge red flag for anyone wanting to actually represent data accurately.

This would be a lot more useful if it were just a showcase and maybe a place for businesses to go to find the best infographic artists and hire them for contract work.

This is a valid concern that hinges on the predictability and consistency of the data being used.

There are two approaches to visualiation: exploratory - When you don't know what the data looks like, you use this to find out what's there. expository - When you do know the data, you can use this approach, which is what the Twitter and Facebook infographics are. We designed the templates around the known scale and range of the data.

If these templates don't work for you, there's additional variety and customization to come that will abide by standards of analysis and visualization.. :)

Good to know. Will look forward to it.

I also see you've been firefighting today. Hope it's all been a learning experience, and mostly positive :)
