About this Blogsphere:

This blogsphere attempts to capture, catalog and share resources relating to visual perception of information.

For example, Coca-Cola does not own Monster, but distributes the energy drink. Another note: We are not sure how up-to-date the chart is. For example, it has not been updated to reflect P&G's sale of Pringles to Kellogg's in February.)  continue reading
