My new rule on infographics: If it’s an idea that I wish I had come up with, then I will post on the Funnelholic. Rule 2: if you can hang the infographic on the walls and refer to it in the future, well then, ding, ding, ding, you have a winner. This is a winner. Information I don’t have in a nice, easy to look at design.
