Interesting data display lab from Google
« on: April 23, 2010, 10:40:02 GMT »
Not strictly PFM but Google have an interesting site where they are experimenting with public data sets and displays - http://www.google.com/publicdata/home - and the first graph is a bottler. It is a time series of births against life expectancy. One of the best graphics I have seen for a long time. Some finance data in there but likely to expand.

On the same topic the World Bank has a brilliant new interface to its development data sets which is much easier to use and download than before - http://data.worldbank.org/?cid=EXTEAPMonth1 .
