I had seen Etsy, the marketplace for handmade goods, but not its excellent visualizations, until Upendra showed them to me this week. Check these out:
- Etsy ColorSpace
- The 3d Etsy Time Machine (I love that the clock runs backwards)
- The Etsy Geolocator
Keep in mind that this company launched in June. It sounds like these are mostly the work of Jared Tarbell. Compliments to him and the Etsy team for making an already-excellent site that much more fun to use.
(You can keep up with their new feature releases on the Etsy Garden, “a place to watch our ideas grow.”)
