Myths about the developing world.
Hans Rosling gave a very educational TED talk that uses UN statistics about world health, money and birth rates to destroy the myths about the so-called third world. In the first few minutes, he demonstrates that the developing world has more of the traits that one assigns to the “western” world than previously believed. He then continues to attack other myths through the use of statistics, humor and some really neat graphs.
AJAXed WordPress has, according to WordPress.org, finally reached over 1000 downloads in the same week. Thank you to everyone who has left the link on their website, or who has helped to promote it.
If you are wondering why the statistics are done through WordPress.org, it is because AJAXed WordPress downloads are hosted in their download repository, and its own page. It doesn’t matter where you download the file from, here or there, you get the latest released version.
What do these numbers mean? It means on a daily basis, AJAXed WordPress is getting almost as many downloads (not hits) as the day with the biggest spike. (The day it was on the front page of Weblog Tools Collection.) It also means that on a daily basis it is getting more hits that Inline AJAX Page ever did. This shows me that the extra work to bring it from the beast that was INAP to AWP was well worth it.
Take a look at the following stats and let me know if you see anything odd.

If you noticed, Yah, seriously, but if you didn’t: in two days I used as much bandwidth as the previous months. It turns out that on the SoBe Lizard post I added 5 PNG screenshots to the post.
