Two books about selling on Amazon that everybody should take a look at. The first is Steve Weber’s “The Home Based Bookstore”, which describes in detail the art of selling through Amazon Marketplace. The second is Aaron Shepard’s “Aiming at Amazon” a publishing business plan that focuses on Amazon sales. Finally, if you’re interested in the publishing system I use to make my living, and for which I’ve walked away from many trade contract offers, I summed it all up in “Print-on-Demand Book Publishing”, not to be confused with subsidy publishing.

Using Google’s new Public Data Explorer tool, Ola Rosling demonstrates the effectiveness of visualizing datasets. Looking toward the next political election, Rosling hopes voters will use the tool to answer questions like: How was the money spent? Where are the biggest problems?

Ola Rosling of Google Public Data gives a presentation titled, “Google Public Data Explorer” at the Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. This program was recorded on April 18, 2010.

Ola Rosling co-founded the Gapminder Foundation and led the development of Trendalyzer, a software that converts time series statistics into animated, interactive and comprehensible graphics. The aim of his work is to promote a fact-based world view through increased use and understanding of freely accessible public data.

In March 2007, Google acquired the Trendalyzer software, where Rosling and his team are now scaling up their tools and making them freely available for any individual or organization to use for analyzing and visualizing data.
