Gapminder
Gapminder: Holy Smokes, this may be the best SWF I've ever seen in my life... it can't be, I know, but it sure feels like it right now. The Gapminder Foundation in Stockholm is working with the United Nations, the World Bank, and Google to offer easy interactive control over the visual display of world demographic data. On the Open Source Flash mailing list co-creator Henrik Lindahl describes the opensource tools they used to produce this work. Impressive work, looks like it will address realworld needs too. Great stuff!
