About this Blogsphere:

This blogsphere attempts to capture, catalog and share resources relating to visual perception of information. It is about a world mostly dealing with Physical (Touch, Taste, See/Sight, Smell and Hear) and sometimes Metaphysical (and that is none-of-the-above category). Physical, for instance, touch (e.g., feel, felt, found), look and visualization, is here with an attempt to combine verbal, vocal and visual--to synchronously see, hear, share and do much more. Interestingly, in order to visualize one does not need special skills, competencies, etc. It is all about common sense, especially with human visualizations. In short, "information is in the eye of the beholder." Continue reading much more all-ado-about this Blogosphere

The Great Financial Chain of Being ~~ Shakespeare visualized


"William Shakespeare lived in an ordered universe. The moral philosophers of his day conceived of that universe as a Great Chain of Being.

...Classical economics has constructed something similar. The very wealthy, or the captains of industry, occupy God's rung on the ladder, followed by the CEO's, shareholders, etc. Mere "consumers" are the equivalent of inanimate objects." continue reading Prof. Owen Gray's The Great Financial Chain of Being

    Customer Service & Visual Signatures


    "10 Simple Ways to Signature Service"
    "Simple (and Free) Customer Service Solutions for Restaurants and Eating Establishments" By Albert Barneto
    “Signature service” is a term that I use to describe customer service that is fresh and unique to a customer’s experience with your business. All companies have “signature products” that separate them from the rest of the pack, something that their competitor lacks. "Signature service" is just that. Customer service that is unique and special; that when a guest leaves your restaurant they scratch their heads and go “WOW”. That my friends, IS what I call “Signature Service”.
    1. First impressions
    2. Treat your customers as guests
    3. Listen to your guests when they’re ordering
    4. Use manners
    5. Names instead of numbers
    6. Be accommodating
    7. Be an ambassador to your restaurant
    8. I want to be a “regular” too!
    9. Open the doors.
    10. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

    Becoming Screen Literate (aka Digital Literacy, Browser Literacy)


    By KEVIN KELLY
    Published: November 21, 2008 @ NYTimes.com
    Everywhere we look, we see screens. The other day I watched clips from a movie as I pumped gas into my car. The other night I saw a movie on the backseat of a plane. We will watch anywhere. Screens playing video pop up in the most unexpected places — like A.T.M. machines and supermarket checkout lines and tiny phones; some movie fans watch entire films in between calls. These ever-present screens have created an audience for very short moving pictures, as brief as three minutes, while cheap digital creation tools have empowered a new generation of filmmakers, who are rapidly filling up those screens. We are headed toward screen ubiquity. continue reading
