Worldmapper

WORLDMAPPER is a site that contains distorted maps that explain different characteristic of the globe. (ie: the map here shows internet usage.)

This website contains 696 maps, with associated information and PDF 'poster' file. Each map relates to a particular subject. Click on the 'Thumbnail Index' which gives thumbnail previews of the maps, 'Map Categories' which is classified to see the choice, or a new option 'A-Z Map Index', and view a map and associated information.

Robert Krulwich of NPR did a quick review of this site, and points out some of it's coolness.
