Ask HN: Favourite Data Visualization Examples?

[soultrees]

I am on the hunt for some inspiration on new and creative ways to display datasets. What is your favourite site that displays data in a fun way?

Ideally:

- creative: displaying data in unconventional ways

-natural: the flow of the data seems natural and the additional elements arent just an add on but a part of the data experience itself.

-fun: graphic design and animations are always fun

- interactive: Is the data a pick-your-own adventure story or a linear experience?

Hoping to see what others have built and come across. Cheers.

Not a site, but Envisioning Information by Edward Tufte is a great book to get inspired by
