FlowingData is a great website that provides an inspirational source of different data visualisation techniques and methods. It also provides guides on different ways of visualising data, tips on what works best and where and when to use them.

"FlowingData explores how designers, statisticians, and computer scientists are using data to understand ourselves better - mainly through data visualization" in an attempt to understand a diverse range of data flows.
