Mashable has posted their “19 Best Infographics of 2010”, focusing heavily (of course) on the ones they’ve commissioned over the last year.  Most of these are the same kind of digg-bait we’ve come to hate like “FarmVille vs Real Farms” and such, but it’s some decent eye-candy.

Research can sometimes be a bit of a chore, but when knowledge is wrapped up in charts, cartoons, or even some heart-holding robots, suddenly “information” isn’t such a scary word.

What do Facebook’s 500 million users look like? Who’s suing whom in the mobile world? How does FarmVille stack up against actual farms? These questions and more are answered in the infographics below.

Have a look through the list and let us know which graphics you liked best (or learned the most from) in the comments below.
