Economic Recovery Dashboard (Jan 10 ver)
25 Jan 2010One of my favorite summaries of economic indicators. If you normally find this stuff confusing you should check it out – click on any of the “historical details” to see what each indicator means and why it’s important.
Bing Destination Maps
20 Jan 2010Sending directions to a party? Want to embed a funky map somewhere? Bing now offers “Destination maps” that look like a choice of four stylistic hand drawings. The production interface is a little clunky, and the result doesn’t appear to allow for quick access to directions, but I think the result is pretty cool. Apparently this is only one of Bing’s new “Map Apps” (click on the button at the bottom of that page)
Obama Approval Ratings
20 Jan 2010Interactive timeline of approval since inauguration. Some dates are annotated. Apparently the Guardian used the Real Clear Politics rating (2nd chart), which is an average of many different polls – nice! And while we’re at it, USAToday’s Approval Tracker allows you to compare presidents’ ratings since Truman and is updated regularly.

Netflix Map
10 Jan 2010Most rented and least rented movies in major metro areas. Roll over to view details by zipcode. Clearly contains some errors though. Benjamin Button was No1 and True Blood season 1 was 47? Thanks to Jack Lucky for pointing it out.

Produced by the Nature Conservancy, University of Washington, and University of Southern Mississippi, the amount of detail and explanation is welcome versus some of the more popular projection maps out there.
