Is this a 100% community driven site, or are there some dedicated editors?

Without a description of what this is, I don't know what it is I'm supposed to be seeing. It's links to random visualization on the web? Is it the empty site hosting the links? I'm sorry, but I don't get it.

Currently it is list of interesting links that I found (except 4 links). But for the future, I hope it will be community driven.

My plan is to create a community driven site that collects interesting links in the field of data visualization (maps, tools, libraries, infographics, tutorials, ...).

An RSS feed or even a daily digest email would be really helpful.

Yes, this I have in plan (e.g. best of week/month). But for this I need enough quality content and users.

Thanks for the site!

Best of week/month will require quality content, I agree. But it's a little bit of a chicken and egg problem if people don't remember the site. Having an RSS feed will get you mind share even if posts are sporadic.

I really like the idea and have a couple of build on possibilities (that you may have already considered). 1. I think this would be awesome in a Pinterest style with the graph as the splash page. 2. I don't disquis. I love the hacker news local comment model but do not understand the scope and scale of moderation work that comes with it (thanks dang!) 3. A special flag for projects that git or other hosted source to separate the 'just shiny' from the 'I can learn from the shiny'

Good luck in this space, I think there is a lot of room for a community like this. Also check out datatau for some other story leads that might better fit in your community.
