Infographic is a very witty method of making sure that intensive and boring data or statistics are read by as many people as possible. It's a tried and tested way of providing information visually with colorful graphics, pie charts, complex numbers, facts, poll results, data comparison and of course funny remarks.

Although long before Internet was invented, infographics were already a part of our lives. We came across them in the newspapers, weather reports, office presentations, site plans and maps etc. But when we started seeing them on our computer screens, that do complete justice to the hard work that the graphic designers put into it, we realized how fun and of course informative these infographics can turn out to be. It goes without saying that social media has a huge hand in making sure that such infographics spread across the globe, but blogs like ours try our level best to make sure that we filter and share the best of them out there.

Last year we'd rounded up the top infographics at that time, and this year is no different. So have a look at some of the most interesting infographics shared in the year 2012.
