Sheetsee.js – client-side library for connecting Google Spreadsheets to a website

Sheetsee.js is a client-side library for connecting Google Spreadsheets to a website and visualizing the information in tables, maps and charts. This is pretty neat, considering that you can already use Google Forms to collect the data from the website into the Google Spreadsheets.  Also, I think this greatly simplifies the handling of tables on the web (every single CMS still sucks in this regard).

The World as 100 People

Here is a really cool visualization of the world’s 7 billion population.  From the quality of life perspective, it’s mind-blowing to see 48 people out of a 100 living on less than $2 per day.  From the technology perspective, the upcoming mobile boom is obvious – 30 people have access to the Internet, while 75 have a cell phone.
