This week’s digital round up focuses largely on Big Data. Oh dear not that old chestnut!

In this week’s digital roundup I look at blogs on data, content over SEO, the demise of websites, the resurgence of podcasts and a wearable health solution for cancer.
The first blog is is about Dadaviz, which is being called the YouTube of data visualisation. Dadaviz started out as Wikibrains, a simple web app making simple-to-visualise Wikipedia topics as bubble maps. This has since developed into a data visualisation business as people’s appetite’s for digesting online data through images have increased. The company’s aim is to be a portal for the best visualisation of data content on the web. Not too ambitious then…

And that is Google in a nutshell; on the one hand evil, manipulative; on the other, friendly, helpful, good to have around.
