Better World Flux

Another impressive data visualization tool (see also this 2009 post for a review of some others):

Better World Flux was created as an entry for the World Bank Apps for Development competition. The site aims to raise awareness for the UN Millennium Development Goals by letting users visualize and share stories that are hidden in the World Bank Open Data.

Better World Flux is a tool that could be used to:

• build an ideal composite of what you think matters in life by selecting the indicators
• track the progress of countries and the world over the years and find interesting trends and patterns
• save and share your most compelling visualization and discover what others are sharing and have a conversation
• see which countries need the most help and find the ideal country to live in based on your preferences
• see which countries need the most help
• find the ideal country to live in based on your preferences
• explore and easily navigate the raw data for each country
