Google public data explorer

​Data visualizations for a changing world

​The Google Public Data Explorer makes large datasets easy to explore, visualize and communicate. As the charts and maps animate over time, the changes in the world become easier to understand. You don't have to be a data expert to navigate between different views, make your own comparisons, and share your findings.

posterous bookmarklet suggestion

This is a little question / suggestion.
When using the posterous bookmarklet i'm always confused of the positions of the link to toggle the advanced settings.

Wouldn't it be better to keep it at the same place in the bottom right corner?Probably rename it to "toggle advanced view" or something.

It feels strange to move the mouse back up there for me.
But maybe that is just me and the way i am using the bookmarklet.
First i select a picture or text excerpt, sometimes i write a little comment, then i go to advanced, set tags and autoposts and then i usually go back and check the first screen, then I hit "Post".I think i never hit "Post" in the advanced view.
What do you think?
