The NY Times has published a great interactive graphic showing the Facebook IPO and how it compares to the IPOs of other tech companies. On their chartsnthings blog you can take a behind the scenes look at the design and thought process behind the interactive graphic.
The graphic was built in part by Amanda Cox of the NY Times. She gave a great talk at the Eyeo Festival in 2011 that shares some more of the insights into the process and science of data visualization.
