Carlos Scheidegger and Kenny Shirley created this visualization of votes for the Major League Baseball hall of fame:
They describe the chart as follows:
The main figure above is a plot of BBWAA Hall of Fame voting by year for all 1,070 players who have appeared on the ballot since Hall of Fame voting began in 1936. The circular points represent each player's vote percentage in his final year on the BBWAA ballot, and the lines represent his vote percentage in prior years if he appeared on the ballot multiple times.
R was used to develop the original version of the visualization above, but if you click it you can see the D3-based interactive version which allows you highlight individual platers, filter by position and see various stats of the players. In addition to the interactive chart, you can find more information about the data behind this visualization and how it was created at the link below.

Me having experience dealing with cloud based tech and consulting and integration services, I realize the need for a secure and consistant cloud service. Many people are concerned with the privacy, or lack thereof, that could occur with storing personal documents into a non-physical storage unit. I can see, though with companies such as ours and Metacloud, we are working toward a more secure and easy to use cloud system for both personal and professional use.
