Even if you don't know what the word "visualization" means, we've all seen them before. The first example that comes to mind is a pie chart or bar graph. Basically, a visualization is a way of showing information visually.

Visualizations can make a website or blog more interesting. One type we see a lot today are word clouds, basically a collage of words that are used in the site.
