In recent years, online social data visualization has captured attention from the users as a new platform for constructing and sharing data visualizations as well as collaboration through user comments.

By analyzing all the data visualizations constructed by users from 2007 to 2010, we provide an insight into the online user behavior as well as the patterns and trends in social data visualization.
