Hope this time it gets to the front.

i figure its all about timing. some of these kramer clips would never make it to the front page if it weren't for the context. right now #6 is a TED talk thanks to farhad, this one should do better this time around.

the graph was awesome!

definitely. thats what this guy is all about, taking raw information and making it publicly accessible. i think its pretty damn important, the work that he's doing.

Great stuff. and it's wonderful to see that the numbers actually indicate an obvious and growing improvement for all the world. Let's hope it keeps up. Up vote for sure.

quality post. feel like i 've been at a really good lecture. complex issue made simple by an enthusiastic and engaging teacher with a special box of tricks. more, more...

ingenious visualisation.

Woot! Hans Rosling was my boss when I did web design work for his division at Karolinska. He's extremely charming and passionate about his work. The world needs more people like him in high places ;-)

hate to say it, but it's a dupe
