Visualizing Data

In doing some work for the News Games blog I came across the GoodGuide's Vote With Your Dollars visualization. It's powered by Flare.

Like everything else that I've seen made with Flare, I really like this. Maybe I'm just pleased with the interactive eye candy, the API has lots of sexy transitions, but I could absolutely see something like this as a means for engaging data about strip malls. Any ideas? Any other means of engaging data I should be considering as well as or instead of Flare?
