This animated map showing the US growth of Walmart from 1965 to 2007 proves the adage that a picture is worth a thousand words. Lots of other cool visualizations at FlowingData, like the Heavy Metal Band Names Flowchart. (Thanks to SKK.)

It is very cool isn’t it? I blogged about a couple of months back also:

I have a research student looking at retailer expansion internationally and am contemplating seeing if she’d tackle such a map globally for one of the big players that reports all store locations. Building a strong link to a research question is the challenge (beyond the easy anti-regionalisation(vs globalisation) applications. The charts look nifty though.

Very impressive. If including the Walmart all over the world, the chart would be more interesting.
