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.

How to track your Blogger statistics with Google:

  1. Go to Google Analytics to sign up or log in.

  3. When you get to “Add Tracking“, open up a new window and log in to your Blogger account.

  4. Go to your blog’s settings and choose “Template” and then “Page Elements“

  5. Have a look at the footer (it has to be the footer!) of the design and choose to “Add a Page Element“.

  6. Find the “HTML/JavaScript” element and then “Add to blog“.

  7. Don’t write anything in the title column.

  8. Copy and paste the code from Google Analytics in the content box and “Save changes”.

  9. Then continue the steps on Google Analytics and you’re done!

Or if you are familiar with coding:

  1. From dashboard – Settings – Template – Edit HTML

  2. Scroll down to the very bottom in the box and locate the tag.

  3. Copy and past the Google code right BEFORE the tag and then save.

  4. To check your stats you just have to click “View Reports”.

  5. If it says “Tracking Unknown” in the status column, you have done something wrong.

Also, you might want to get your blog Google verified (link to tutorial for Blogger) so your blog gets crawled so your chances to show up on search results increases. Here is a tutorial for you WordPress.com users.
