Here is a link to the absolutely amazing tool he developed to visualize data. It’s all self-explanatory, but, just in case, go to the bottom of the page and choose the data you want to look at. Click play and sit back and enjoy. If you hover over any of the circles, the country will display.

I understand google bought the software in 2007, and you can add to the database if you have relevant data.

Hans Rosling has a fascinating presentation at the TED site. Not only does he use actual data to talk about the economic and social changes rapidly occurring in the world, but he does it with beautiful graphics. ;-) Enjoy!
