Link: Are you a Datasexual?

Meet the Urban Datasexual

The term metrosexual is already pretty accepted, so it is time to introduce a new term: Datasexual.

A datasexual looks a lot like people just like you and me, the only difference is that they really have the need to collect data. About themselves, others, things, pretty much everything. And they love it.

They not only collect them, but also share the data with everybody. But datasexuals don’t share it in a boring way. It needs to be data-groomed. For instance in a beautiful infographic or nice big data visualisation.

Dominic Basulto wrote a nice blogpost about the creation and future of the datasexual.
