Is it just me, or is data visualization everywhere? When [dry cleaners](https://www.philsimon.com/blog/big-data/dataviz-and-dry-cleaners/) are doing it, you know that it's gone mainstream.

Another sign: The [Miami Dolphins' Twitter account](https://twitter.com/MiamiDolphins?ref=philsimon.com) showed this graphic after the team's 23-3 beat-down of the NY Jets:

No graphics on [bullying](https://www.foxnews.com/sports/2013/12/01/dolphins-place-jonathan-martin-on-non-football-injury-list-ending-his-season/?ref=philsimon.com), though.

Too soon?

## Simon Says

Sites without effective visuals are looking increasingly dated. Technology has improved that you don't have to be a Photoshop wiz to generate cool graphics that help tell a story.

Get on board.
