Changing Places

It's a little quiet at work so far, so I've been sending pretty things to people - a recruitment infographic to a couple of colleagues who help out with our assessment centres, a picture of a cheese wheel to the people I was out with last night and a guardian article about social analytics to my team.

I thought I'd share these maps with you all, then. They're pretty.

The 14th February, a day for people to celebrate all kinds of loving relationships and for money to be made.

I like this collection of infographics which show lots of different stats about Valentine's Day. Like the origins of the millions of flowers which are sold and the inequity between the amount of money which men spend on women compared to the other way around.

I don't think I've ever been in a relationship on Valentine's. It's so normal to ignore it that I've been surprised, this year, by how much more it's been mentioned around me. I can't put my finger on what's different. Maybe just living in the city where there are actual shops with chocolates, flowers and cards on display ....

What is the very bright country just above Australia if you let this run?

I'd identify it as Indonesia, but I wouldn't have guessed that Indonesians liked to tweet so much.
