These are exciting days at Vizzuality. In the last two weeks we’ve launched some of the biggest projects we’ve been involved so far, the Endangered Languages Project and the Evolution of the Web visualization. And we’ve received great feedback. 

The Endangered Languages Project, a collaborative tool developed to facilitate the work of linguists and volunteers documenting endangered languages, has received coverage from hundreds of publications worldwide like CNN, TechCrunch and Mashable. It was also linked at Google’s home page. We are learning a lot about scalability this week. I think our team deserves a badge for “I developed an app that was on the Google home page and it did not go down and responded in less than 150ms”. A little bit long for a t-shirt, but quite a story!

These are images from Google.com, Google France and Google Hong Kong, but we were all around the globe:

And yesterday, Google’s senior VP of Chrome and Apps, Sundar Pichai, showed our latest project Evolution of the Web in his keynote presentation at Google I/O 2012 Developer’s Conference held in San Francisco. It is really impressive to see our work in such a huge screen and with thousands of people looking at it.

This is a photo taken from the live video streaming of the conference: 

We will explain in a future post the details of this visualization of the history and pace of innovation in web browsers –we developed it for Google in collaboration with our friends at Hyperakt. Meanwhile, we wanted to share with you the images above.

What a week!
