Today I'm pleased announce a
sizable update!
This time it's a mix of updates and entirely new stats. We now have
population figures updated for 2008.
We have a raft of updated media stats: we have
radios,
TV's,
newspapers. Did you know that Chinese newspapers have a
circulation of 76 million? Or that Amenia has a
cinema seat for every 20 people?
And new to NationMaster, books broken down by genre. See who's producing the most titles in areas such as
religion,
literature,
arts and
science.
Our tourism stats are getting comprehensive too. We can now tell you the destinations favoured by
Africans,
Southern Asians or
Europeans.
Keep checking back. We have a lot more in the works over the next month.

Due to ongoing growth, we are now
hiring for full time web developers. If you'd like to work on
NationMaster and other free research sites, we would love to hear from you.
We are honoured to be
listed among Australia's best web 2.0 applications this week. Ross Dawson produced a list for the prestigious
Business Review Weekly showing our most internationally successful, innovative sites.
Two of our sites,
FactBites and
NationMaster, made the grade.
Geoff Evason put together a list ranking according to Quantcast traffic data alone. The list seems to have disappeared though, so I've reproduced it myself:
1. 1134 retailmenot.com
2. 6423 bugmenot.com
3. 18686

THe middle column is rank according to Feb08 Quantcast data. This puts us in 3rd and 18th places. No matter how you cut it,
Rapid Intelligence is one of Australia's top independent publishers.
Our undying mission is to make our stats as accessible as possible, no easy task when there's over 8000 of them.
So that's why we've recently been paying a lot of attention to search. We've just unveiled an update that finds what you're after, more quickly and more accurately than ever before.
It might look the same but inside it's much smarter. Give it a go! Top center of every page.
Feedback always welcome.
Luke.
Our
forums are now back online. Apologies to our regular users for both the initial deluge and the resulting downtime. And to new users, we again have a place for discussing global issues and asking the advice of your fellow NMers.
Also, we're recognising that as the site grows, it's getting harder to get to your stats. So we've been making some changes. Some of these have already gone live like showing the top 20 stats in
categories. That's the default but we're not walking away from our mission of being the one-stop shop for stats. By clicking the "All" tab you can still get the
full list.
Luke.
