From Creative Bloq, a list of free tools, mostly web-based, for creating infographics. A good range here, from data visualization to diagramming tools and templates.
I'm not a massive fan of the trend towards the indiscriminate use of infographics - it's much too easy to disguise shallow thinking and inadequate research, and way too easy to fail to pass along things that matter and emphasize things that don't, making them dangerous for much the same reasons as PowerPoint is dangerous - but, when they are done well, and when they are combined with links to richer sources of information, they can be powerful learning tools.
Bookmarks are a great way to share web pages you have found with others (including those on this site) and to comment on them and discuss them.
We welcome comments on public posts from members of the public. Please note, however, that all comments made on public posts must be moderated by their owners before they become visible on the site. The owner of the post (and no one else) has to do that.

As someone who read Tufte back in the '80s, I would venture that ALL infographics are worthless. ;-)
Indeed - though Tufte's career has been pretty much all about how to do infographics right and he has produced some of the best ones around. Ironically, his website is an impenetrable, ugly, disorganized mess.
