CartoDB makes D3 maps a breeze

From the post:

Anybody who loves maps and data can’t help but notice all the beautiful visualizations people are making with D3 right now. Huge thanks to Mike Bostock for such a cool technology.

We have done a lot of client-side rendering expirements over the past year or so and have to say, D3 is totally awesome. This is why we felt it might be helpful to show you how easy it is to use D3 with CartoDB. In the near future, we’ll be adding a few tutorials for D3 to our developer pages, but for now, let’s have a look.

Very impressive.

But populating a map with data isn’t the same as creating a useful map with data.

Take a look at the earthquake example.

What data would you add to it to make the information actionable?
