I don’t know about you but I love the movies and I love movie quotes. Flowing Data created this chart of AFI’s top 100 famous movie quotes and I made a point to blow it up so I could see it better.
But it didn’t render as clearly as I would like on my mobile devices and that is something that marketers/publishers and any one else who uses websites to promote information needs to be aware of.
With the proliferation of tablets and smartphones you can make a common sense call to try to cater to the mobility crowd and feel relatively confident that a substantial number of your readers are coming to your site from mobile devices.
If it were me I would still check my analytics to see how most people were reaching and reading my site and then do my best to use a responsive design to ensure that most people would have a good experience browsing my site.
Infographic Challenge
If you are among the long time readers you know that I have a love/hate relationship with Infographics. The challenges of trying to build an effective one that works in multiple browsers and devices plays a sizable role there too.
It is not just a question of fact checking but the effort to make sure you have something that can be easily read. To be clear I am not saying I am against using them at all, because I think the benefits outweigh the negatives.
A good infographic is highly sharable and easily repurposed for use multiple times.
What about you? Do you have any thoughts to share?

Definitely love/hate. How did the “standard” size become so standard. Seems naturally at odds with mobile.

It is problematic. Not much of a responsive design.
