2/ @ribbonfarm loves maps @vgr @sarahdoingthing ribbonfarm.com/ribbonfarm-ru… ribbonfarm.com/2008/02/16/a-… ribbonfarm.com/2020/05/07/le… ribbonfarm.com/2012/12/14/th…

3/ People often call infographics or charts "maps", but that's not always right Maps have specific characteristics that can be maintained even while plotting conceptual spaces ieeexplore.ieee.org/document… ribbonfarm.com/2015/09/03/ca… tasshin.com/blog/foundations…

4/ Yo dawg, I heard you like maps... So I mapped maps, mapped personality "maps", mapped Buddhist "maps", and Wardley Mapped Wardley mapping ribbonfarm.com/2015/09/03/ca… academia.edu/36648965/Typolo… - Buddhist map by Ron Serrano secularbuddhism.org/episode-… nitter.net/swardley/status/108669…

5/ Wardley Maps by @swardley are maybe the most pragmatic, contemporary use of maps. @HiredThought does consulting just for WM But I think I learned more from Simon's general thoughts on history and innovation than WM itself, so sharing those instead list.wardleymaps.com

6/ Maps are a satisfying metaphor for navigating uncertainty Mazes are probably the same concept, but maybe with more booby traps and dead ends Idea Mazes by @balajis, spark-public.s3.amazonaws.co… @danielfschmidt is the maze meister mazestructure.com/ nitter.net/tangjeff0/status/12233…

7/ Subways maps are cool because they morph the true physical landscape Emphasizing routes and stops over geographic reality isn't deception. It's dimensionality reduction Pioneered by Henry Beck in 1933 with the London Underground nitter.net/daveloach2/status/1273…

8/ Maps with meaningful axes and proportions let you focus on the right level of abstraction You can zoom in and zoom out I wish someone redid these "maps" in Figma or Miro to show ENTIRE FIELDS at different granularities, with proper relationships
