New York’s Biggest Tech Geeks, Facing Off As Infographics

Tagged Under : , , , ,

For the past several months I’ve been advising some friends at a startup called Visual.ly. I helped them put together their inaugural foray into auto-generated infographics with this Twitter infographic generator. I drew several dozen comic versions of celebrities and influencial nerds (@arrington, @davemcclure, @aplusk, @ladygaga, and so on), as well as a ****ton of options for build-your-own comic characters. The visual.ly guys spent countless hours putting it all together and hacking away at APIs in order to get things working.

And so, with all that work behind me, I decided to pit some local New York tech geeks head to head and see what happened:

Rockstar founders

Prolific blogger/investors

Outspoken first time entrepreneurs

Investors you see everywhere

Red-heads
