The INFO Project Blog

Our favorite data dramatist Hans Rosling, who we saw present at the MEASURE Evaluation Symposium last month, gave the world (with two other Swedes) the Gapminder tool, which animates potentially dry data into cartoon-like bubbles that shift over time like an effervescent beverage. Bubbles can signify (as with the map at right) country populations, correlated with Gross National Per Capita income and child mortality. China and India are the big red blobs, with most European countries at upper right in orange.

Now Google, which purchased Gapminder, has made this tool available on Google Spreadsheets.

Kurt Voelker of Forum One whipped up a nifty presentation on Web site traffic for their Influence blog.

Now, create your own snazzy statistical show. Go, go gadget.
