Google Public Data Explorer

From:

The Mathematics Blog

Google Public Data Explorer is really a great tool of practice and exploration if you are doing a course in descriptive statistics. It is a sort of Google Maps - plus. Plus data. It does certain things that WolframAlpha does but interactive and with more data. You can even embed data that you created with this tool in your own webpages or reports.

The Google Public Data Explorer makes large datasets easy to explore, visualize and communicate. As the charts and maps animate over time, the changes in the world become easier to understand. You don't have to be a data expert to navigate between different views, make your own comparisons, and share your findings.
