I like their dynamic visualization of statistical data. In my opinion, adding the time dimension to the data definitely allows to extract a better understanding of the evolution of the systems under study, and this is an excellent example.

Talk and visualization of third world statistics by Hans Rosling
A friend just pointed me to a great talk, titled "Debunking third-world myths with the best stats you've ever seen", by Hans Rosling, the founder of Gapminder.

Thanks for mentioning this presentation, ero. I played around with the Gapminder Software about six months ago when I first heard of it. It's the most entertaining way to present data over time I've seen so far. I wasn't aware of the presentation though. Hans Rosling is an awesome speaker, I wish the talk would have gone longer than 20 minutes.
He is definitely good:
