Mappy!
I can't decide which is cooler: World Mapper or Gapminder.
Gapminder receives points for flexibility and animated panache, but I'd like a "guided tour" to suggest statistics to compare or interesting bits of data. [oh. that's what the "help" section's for. Hm, I'll have to investigate further].
World Mapper is not only immediately obvious as to what it's for, there's a lot of well-presented visual and text information behind the scenes. The printable PDFs look top-notch and if I were a teacher, I'd be all over them for lesson plans or posters. The A-to-Z index is amazing, too.
