Functional Favicons
Traditionally favicons are used for branding. A tiny icon which represents who you are and is displayed in the browsers address bar, in your bookmarks and (in Firefox) in the tab of the page your are currently viewing.

Worldmapper – Trending the globe
I am fascinated by the different ways people represent data. We grow accustomed to displaying data in the same old ways. We start to glance over the mundane bar graphs we see everyday. We forget that the relationship between the data is more important than the specific numerical values. Graphs are for trends, reports are for numbers.
Worldmapper takes the same old data we hear every day in the news and dares to present it uniquely. I think it makes their point well.
