55 Million UN Records Now Online (Data.UN.org)

The UN has recently compiled much of its data into a single fairly easy to use web-based interface called UNData. They are apparently working with Hans Rosling (If you have not seen him speak, check out the video below and be inspired) and the brilliant people at Gapminder which means, eventually, I hope, that all this lovely data will be available through Trendalyzer (another tool you have to see to believe).
