Kaggle Visualization Challenge Winner
I'm a big fan of the Kaggle platform, one of the world's largest community of data scientists. I came across Kaggle two years ago and thought this "crowd sourcing" idea is brilliant: Companies like Netflix, Google, Facebook are able to host competitions about their hardest predictive modeling problems. The data scientists on the other hand try to solve those complex problems best possible in a given time frame. Besides fame and glory, the winner gets prize money of multiple thousand dollars.
