During my Datafam London presentation I briefly showed a slide with a screenshot of my RSS reader – my main source of inspiration on everything Tableau. Afterwards I have got several requests to share this list of website.

For this post I have exported all these links, and I will update it regularly. If you want to share an interesting Tableau/Data/Data Visualization blog, please let me know and I will add (and follow) it!
