Infographics are everywhere, but with their increasing popularity I've noticed they're decreasingly informative. An infographic should convey information graphically. Somehow the concept was corrupted into bright pastel cartoon images layered behind paragraphs of Helvetica text with numbers. That's not an infographic; it's just a poster.
This is a an example of an infographic done well also serving as advertisement: blending the visual timeline and graph with the marketing "information" placing Google Voice firmly at the right end of the timeline, while still illustrating its roots. From the carefully worded headline to the march of progress digits to the timeline to the branded Google Voice icon, anyone can visualize that the "insanely" great features of this new technology are the combination and evolution of the old.
(On the other hand, the telephone number formatting of the timeline icons feels gratuitous, along with the '50s colored dots. Google enjoys Easter Eggs. Is it an actual phone number? If so, it's not as simple as initial caps on touch tone keys, as the T's have different backgrounds. The dots do color match the dashed lines.)
