Ever wonder at what rate you actually earn your paycheck? Time & Money will break it down for you to the second and to the penny. Flowing currency represents the money made per second. The flow may be paused at any time.

The real time data visualization allows you to set the hourly rate, salary, number of people, institution or select from topics such as the U. S. minimum wage, working population, or government budgets.  Clicking on images of bills or coins provides the viewer with a quick history of the currency. Currency starts at a penny and goes up to a $100,000 bill, which the author admits he did not know existed until this project. This real time data visualization was created by Bradford F. Lyon.

Viewers can see the drastic difference in someone making minimum wage verse someone taking home $100,000 a year. Even watching for one minute communicates the difference through this real time data visualization. A minimum wage employee makes 12¢ in one minute whereas the other makes $1.90. Images of real U.S. currency are used and have been approved by the U.S. Mint and Secret Service.

This is certainly one of the best data viz examples on the block. Tweetping is a real time data visualization of tweets worldwide. Shining dots on the world map show where social media activity is taking place. A panel placed at the bottom of the screen displays various counter widgets providing real time data on total tweet, chart, word, hashtag counts. There are widgets for the whole world as well as separate counters dedicated to South America, North America Europe, Africa and Asia. On the following screenshot which was taken around noon Eastern Time, you can see that most active social media interaction is happening in North America (US and Canada), coastal areas of South America (Brazil, Argentina etc), Europe and South East Asia. It seems that either Australia is asleep or has no interest in tweeting. This real time data visualization is an instance of the data visualization techniques application which is truly capable to wow a viewer.
