Minding the Gap

This may be old to some but the Gapminder World/Trendalyzer tool now has a blog up and running where you can track updates and development of the software.  As I've said before this is a great tool and well worth spending a bit of time with if you haven't before.  

This TED video of Gapminder director Hans Rosling presenting in 2007, one of my all time favorites, makes extensive use of the software so you can see its usefulness in action, even if you can't swallow swords.

 

Update:  Wikinomics has posted a good list of visualizations on a wide range of data, I'm happy to see that Gapminder is first on the list.
