Love these - am always interested in the paths people take to get where they are. Love the visualization that accompanies these stories.

Thank you, Donna
This is fantastic! When I read the first one, I expected it to end after the infographic, which was already an excellent summary, but I really appreciated the write-ups and references as well. I felt like I got the value of 15 hours of reading and synthesizing condensed into less than 1.
Maker
Eric, I am glad. That was the goal. And hope the visualizations help you remember the stories for a while.
Great stuff! I like the ease of reading all this information in a simple and chronological way.
Maker
that's where visual language with icons and timelines works the best
This is an excellent way to show what kind of graphic timelines can do. Very smart.
Maker
Right now, Adioma can do everything except that doughnut chart in the header and illustrations at the bottom.
My only problem with this project is it's a little disingenuous as you skim over the negatives of how some of these companies come to be. For example Facebook was a stolen idea from the twins and they sued Mark winning $65 million. Instead you say he was recruited to make a dating site, drops it, and builds theFacebook in a week. If these biographies included the whole story I think you'd have something fantastic here.
Maker
yes, that's right: some biographies need a major update, like Zuckerberg one. Well, the fact that the idea is stollen is doubtful (who can someone still an idea from someone without executing it?). Although it's a good point: I think we should put it on a timeline somehow indicating the relevance/truthfulness of the fact in a visual way. The challenge here is to put the most important fact on a timeline because we can't put everything - it will become too long to scroll. Or maybe come up with an interactive version of a timeline, where clicking on a point reveals more related facts, by expanding a segment of the timeline...
Love this.. Great visualisations!
Maker
thank you, Leandro
I glanced at the screenshots, and thought "why is brad pitt in between steve jobs and bill gates?"
Maker
LOL, Elon Musk's look changes a lot.
You need a $9.95/month Blogger plan -- I think a lot of bloggers looking for interesting content would like to incorporate an occasional infographic into their blog -- like maybe 2-3/month. But at $500/year it wouldn't be worth it.
Maker
Paul, I've seen some bloggers who use our service do more visuals because they are so fast and easy to make. You can always try for 2 weeks free and then see if the value of what you make is greater than the cost of the service.

Here is an example of how one writer is using Adioma
Creative viewing life as a circle of 100 years and the ring stopping somewhere to indicate the years someone lived. Super interesting, read through all of them! :)
Maker
Thank you, Fiza. Once a lot of people start living past 100, we'll have to switch to a spiral :)
Really good! Well done! In waiting for the new biographies.
Maker
working on them already
