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

@donnamkennett 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.

@ecwilson 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.

@georgenikolic that's where visual language with icons and timelines works the best

This is an excellent way to show what kind of graphic timelines @adiomahq can do. Very smart.

@nassaraf @adiomahq 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.

@michaeljcalkins 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...

I glanced at the screenshots, and thought "why is brad pitt in between steve jobs and bill gates?"

@wuss 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.

@paulhorne 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.

@paulhorne 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! :)

@purnimamehtaa Thank you, Fiza. Once a lot of people start living past 100, we'll have to switch to a spiral :)
