FedEx must have spent a lot of money and time on this beautiful data visualization that allows users to explore the world through a variety of lenses. The experience is essentially a morphing map that scales countries to a particular size based on different data sources. The image above is a map of the world with the countries scaled to represent the number of new businesses (i.e. entrepreneurs) per capita. There are 21 different categories of information, each one having 3 different views with data from unique sources. My favorite? Beer imported per capita -- watch Africa disappear...
Who isn't getting into the interactive data mining game these days?
