New Database for Analyzing Millennium Development Goals Indicators: Trendalyzer

New Database for Analyzing Millennium Development Goals Indicators

The United Nations' Millennium Development Goals Indicators website is the official location to access data and information related to the 48 indicators used to track progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It has been recently updated with some very useful new materials. Some of these resources include:

Trendalyzer is a powerful tool for viewing time series data and assessing MDG progress over time. Trendalyzer allows users to visually manipulate MDG indicator statistics, plotting them geographically on a map or linearly on a graph. An animation feature enables users to track changes in country statistics since 1990. Users can even isolate and follow one or more countries of their choosing over the years represented. This kind of tool is a helpful supplement to the Trendalyzer (by GapMinder) data tables and charts on MDG progress in the fact that it is animated, displaying information in moving graphics over time and making trends easy to identify. For example, when viewing the data on the Millennium Development Goal reduce under-five mortality by two-thirds from 1990 to 2002 as a moving graphic, it is visually clear that under-five mortality in Cote d’Ivoire and Iraq (among a few others) is actually increasing while under-five mortality is decreasing in the majority of countries represented. The Trendalyzer tool was created by GapMinder, a Swedish non-profit, and can be applied to a wide variety of data.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
