Worldmapper: The world as you've never seen it before
The number of blog posts is a dead giveaway that I'm not getting much work done today...
Via Lilia who found it from Dina who found it from Simon (I love these trails of connections) comes a great visualization tool, Worldmapper: The world as you've never seen it before. Worldmapper reconfigures land mass maps to represent other values, such as population age, origins, time in history and other maps. Here are a few great comparisons (with inspiration from Dina!)
Refugee origin - 15 million refugees in 2003.
World population in 1500
World population projected 2050
Net In-Tourism (where people go on tourist visits) - like the other maps, there are related maps that make comparisons quite interesting.
