This slideshow is a colllection of maps, models, and visualizations from a range of sources and places on the web aimed at helping to understand the components that make up Web 2.0 as well as how they fit together. It has been created and assembled by the good folk at www.EdVibes.com. As with all things Web 2.0 however at least one of the maps, that from informationarchitects has already been updated.

Worldmapper is a collection of some 600 world maps, that uses cartograms to offer comparative data around themes such Age of Death, Income etc. Each of the the countries are re-sized on each map according to the particular variable that is being mapped. Though some of the maps are quite tricky to work with at first after you get used to it, the cartograms are a great visualization. Each of the maps also has an associated pdf file.

Breathing Earth is a real-time simulation that purports to display the CO2 emissions of every country in the world, alongside birth and death data. The simulation tracks on a map where in the world these vents are likley to be taking place. Really interesting stuff.

"Please remember that this real time simulation is just that: a simulation. Although the CO2 emission, birth rate and death rate data used in Breathing Earth comes from reputable sources, data that measures things on such a massive scale can never be 100% accurate. Please note however that the CO2 emission levels shown here are much more likely to be too low than they are to be too high. "
