From a very cool post by Utah blogger turned Georgia blogger Tom of Tom’s Alt-Tag on the heightened impact of visualizing big numbers, as opposed to simply typing them out.

I want to be doubly clear–neither the graphic nor the original idea of presenting information this way is mine (but thanks for the link back). Full credit goes to the guy at informationisbeautiful.net, David McCandless.
