GoogleLabs always comes up with really neat ways to interact with their humongous piles of data (sorry for the techno-babble).

I’ve just been playing with their Gapminder, with which they have designed a dynamic, interactive interface to demonstrate disparities between nations, over time.

Use both the chart and the map view to see how countries compare with regard to “Internet users per 1000 capita,” “Carbon dioxide emissions - tons per capita,” or “Women % of workforce”. Use the play button to see how things have changed over time. Select a single country, or several, to track individually.

Compelling data delivered through a whiz-bang interface. Neat-o.
