Widgets: playtime... this one courtesy of MPS technologies.

Another attempt to graph data - relation between GDP growth and birth rate per 1000 people in 5 countries

My next attempt - Book widgets

Hmm. Also trying to create book widgets, but I am not sure I will be able to do this easily...

First attempt not too bad!

I have tried to play with the new Google Gadgets. I took an indicator (GDP per capita) from the World Bank's World Development Indicators for two countries (Germany and Turkey)from 2000 to 2006 and try to graph them with the Gapminder tool. It seems to work well!
More experiments with other indicators to follow...
Okay, I hope you will bear with me with all my mistakes and pathetic attempts at understanding how to leverage web 2.0 for publishing. Advice always welcome!
