Banners by Country

I got carried away playing with the Google Charting API and created these graphs. They use live data so they will adapt over time. Note: Australia is in the lead as this blog originally started as an Aussie only blog. So we had a head start.

Note: this chart is pulling in live data and will update automatically. I can see we’ve been running below average for almost all of 2008.

I was thinking of putting this as a sparkline on the site left nav but it might be a waste of space?
