Google has been working with the Gapminder foundation in Sweden, with money shooting in from a Swedish Dev agency called Sida to create a nice visually appealing system that turns boring world data into visually stimulating bubbles.
Google's Gapminder is a visually animated system that develops free non-profit information statistics. Google has helped put together this system so that users can have an enjoyable format to view boring data in. The information stored in the system has been collected from World Developments Indicators, and from the World Bank.
