Welcome to StateMaster, a unique statistical database which allows you to research and compare a multitude of different
data on US states. We have compiled information from various primary sources such as the US Census Bureau, the FBI, and the
National Center for Educational Statistics. More than just a mere collection of various data, StateMaster goes beyond the
numbers to provide you with visualization technology like pie charts, maps, graphs and scatterplots. We also have thousands of
map and flag images, state profiles, and correlations.
We have stats on everything from toothless residents
to percentage of carpoolers. Our database is increasing
all the time, so be sure to check back with us regularly.
If you are interested in data on an international scale, be sure to check out NationMaster,
our sister site and the world's largest central database for comparing countries.
THE FULL WIKI MARRIES WIKIPEDIA AND GOOGLE MAPS.
Monday, 11 January 2010
Our new site, the full wiki has brought together Google Maps and Wikipedia. Now you can view any article on Wikipedia with all the locations mentioned on a Google Map
The map and the article are linked throughout. Click on a map marker and it jumps to that part of the article. Click on an article marker and it will show you that location on the map.
See for example our tourism fact map. If we click on Bangkok (Q), for example, we can see the relevant part of the article and learn that it's the third most visited city in the world. Or zooming into Europe and clicking on Nice, Wikipedia tells us it was one of the first and best established resorts in the French Riveria.
From the makers of NationMaster comes a new project aimed at harnessing the wealth of content of wikis.
It's called the The Full Wiki. Its goal is to become a platform for an enriched user experience for wikis using open licenses.
We have seen many fantastic projects come and go under the weight of traffic spikes, large datasets and the need to stay fresh. We want to provide serious hosting resources to make these projects feasible.
If you have a wiki oriented project you'd like us to host or provide other help, check out The Full Wiki.
FEATURE UPDATE
Tuesday, 14 April 2009
We've been working away for the past month and are pleased to announce a raft of new little features:
Refined moderation of user comments. Your valued contributions will appear on the site quicker.
Top rankings pages now show the top 5 most popular stats for each variable, rather than the top 1.
We've put a search box at the bottom of each page, so it's convenient to find new things out of our vast collection.
Best of all: you can now sort by amount and alphabetical order on graph pages with instant feedback. No need to wait for the page to reload
We hope these modifications improve your experience. Feel free to drop us a line with any thoughts of your own.
NATIONMASTER AND FACTBITES TOP WEB 2.0 APPS
Thursday, 10 July 2008
We are honoured to be listed among Australia's best web 2.0 applications this week. Ross Dawson produced a list for the prestigious Business Review Weekly showing our most internationally successful, innovative sites.
Geoff Evason put together a list ranking according to Quantcast traffic data alone. The list seems to have disappeared though, so I've reproduced it myself:
THe middle column is rank according to Feb08 Quantcast data. This puts us in 3rd and 18th places. No matter how you cut it, Rapid Intelligence is one of Australia's top independent publishers.
