I remember seeing this great use of a nightingale rose a while ago to represent the privacy levels of facebook. Was a good way of showing the privacy without lots of text.

Well like any good visualisation matt mckeon updates his visualisation as like the data changes and updates and what results is, he has produce (at the link) a lovely animated timeline of the Evolution of Facebook Privacy from 2005 to 2010.
If any visualisation translates drab data complexity in to such beautiful, simple graphics that through the animation yield such dramatic insights into how 'default' settings of how your personal data has become greater in its availability over 5 years is great.
Note: Matt has asked for explicit permission before his images are used on sites as many people have neglected to either source the most up-to-date visual he created, or negate referencing him as the author. So please visit it!

Wibiya
Wibiya is great. Using ajax and jquery so quite browser friendly and can be easily implemented into a site with either a plugin for wordpress, html code for a website and compatible to joomla, tumblr, blogger, ning (no longer free, i'm not a happy bunny) and more... www.wibiya.com Great social networking tool and it just adds a toolbar that permanently hovers at the bottom of your web browser as you scroll it moves with you. Then their are apps that you install into that toolbar, facebook, add this, twitter, facebook fan page (i recently discovered and set up http://www.facebook.com/pages/Visualisation/113395388714343), but the one i love is a Timeline of your blog posts provide by http://www.allofme.com Very nice visual timeline. Use it, very good, easy to implement. Apolgoises for the dwindled posts recently, waiting for a broadband connection to come about again, but i regular share links and inspiration here: http://visualthinkmap.tumblr.com
