The 3D Globe WebGL library created by google is an awesome example of data visualization. With the blessing of the reddit folks, I populated some Google Analytics data into it. http://www.webgl.com/2012/03/webgl-globe-visualization-reddi...

Another aspect that makes WebGL projects like this even more useful is that you can right-click and save what you are currently seeing as an image.

I love that as well.

Do all browsers support that?

You made me curious, so I tried it. I could only get the option in Firefox, of which I'm running Aurora. IE, Safari, and Opera wouldn't load WebGL, I'm just running whatever the current mainstream version happens to be. Chrome, again current mainstream version, loads the WebGL but no save image option.

That's very impressive, and I'm going to be playing with that globe this evening :)
