Gapminder has just launched a new website.  If you've seen the Hans Rosling TED presentation that I posted a while ago, you have some idea what Gapminder is about.   Gapminder is a non-profit venture founded by Ola Rosling, Anna Rosling Rönnlund and Hans Rosling in 2005.  Their motto is "unveiling the beauty of statistics for a fact based world view."  In particular, Gapminder aggregates world economic, health and political statistics, and provides a wonderful facility, Gapminder World, for charting those statistics and analyzing trends.  The new website is nice.  Check it out.
