Neat Screen Saver From The Economist.com

If you’re like me, you enjoy reading facts and figures about various countries. While sitting down to do this may sound rather monotonous, the Economist.com has a rather novel way of feeding you this information in small doses. Its offering a free screen saver that provides all this data with a graphical rotating globe.
The Economist Screensaver is a treasure trove of fascinating data on 66 of the world’s major economies. Drawing on the 2007 edition of the bestselling “Pocket World in Figures”, it presents facts and figures on population, demographics, the economy, society, health and education around the world. The screensaver also features a ticker displaying the headlines of new articles published on Economist.com, as well as some of the witty one-liners used in The Economist ’s renowned advertising campaigns.
It’s really awesome. You can download the screen saver here [free registration is required, but it’s worth it].
I read the Economist.com, Wall Street Journal and several other investment newsletters on a regular basis. If you want to increase your financial knowledge I strongly recommend reading some of these. Its definitely better than watching TV!

Hey Nirav,
How much are you spending on the newsletters? Do you think you could get the same information for free elsewhere?
Best,
James
I really, really don’t think you want to know how much I spend.
I read a LOT of free newsletters and I seriously doubt you get
the best info for free.
