WorldMapper

Some of you have undoubtedly already seen this, but if you haven’t, take a look at what happens when compelling data meets beautiful (and useful) design: WorldMapper, “a collection of world maps, where territories are re-sized on each map according to the subject of interest.” While there are a lot of interesting categories — tourism, immigration, population — I’m hoping in the future we’ll see the WorldMapper folks look at things like crime rates, religiosity, life expectancy, sports obsession, etc.
