A couple of years ago, someone discovered that websites hungry for content are willing to post infographics. Spammers latched onto the idea, because infographics are easy to create, and an easy way to get links on all kinds of websites. They don't have to be particularly artful or accurate to get posted, and therefore became less so over time. Alberto Antoniazzi made this infographic that explains the current state of infography in very clear terms. See the full-size version at Flickr. Link -via Laughing Squid
