Worth a read:

• After almost 10 years of free, embeddable interactives, Google is ending Fusion Tables at the end of next year (Computer World)
• GIJN rounded up the most popular tweets from 2018 using the #ddj data journalism hashtag. The list included projects like a map measuring laughter in the German parliament and an R program that extracts color palettes from photos (GIJN)
• Americans are split on whether or not it’s a good idea for social media sites to provide targeted internet content to people, according to a research initiative from the Knight Foundation and Gallup (Knight Foundation)
