WOwww…Jus had in mind another amazing term: ChartJunk. ChartJunk refers to all those illustartive designs in charts and graphs. However this has nothing to do with information about the graphs/charts. It is just a visual bliss. Since it’s all “all non-data-ink or redundant data-ink”, its known as ChartJunk.

Here is one for the time being, but not the end:
Instapaper: Do you think it is another specimen of paper of black and white or colored ink? Of course not! It is a tool which helps you to save web pages which you want to read later. It provides you with a Read Later bookmarking button that postpones your reading for the time being. If you have any other important work to attend to, Instapaper can be of great help!:-)
