The World as you've never seen it......

Picked up this post from Richard Beddard over at the interactive investor blog, pointing to this site at Worldmapper showing the world map adjusted for various features.

Here, for example, as a predictor of where Web TV may take off, here is the Home Hours index for men (Aka Couch Potato Count)



Unfortunately the Internet Penetration one isn't linkable, but as a subsitute here is the growth of science research 1990 - 2001



Richard also put me in touch with Graeme Pieterz financial "Superglossary" - its an interesting concept, a glossary of terms that points on to other definitions. Graeme's points to his site, but I was thinking it would be interesting as a concept if it then also linked to other sites as well

Postscipt - there is another similar idea here at Gapminder
