On November 1^st, the world’s population officially reached the 7 billion mark. This week, we take a look at the data behind that figure. Who are the 7 billion? Where do most of them live? Which countries are growing the fastest, which are declining? And which of them are the happiest? Have more info you want to share? Please let us know and we’ll create some more data streams.

Click here if you want to know which are the most populated  (aka most crowded) countries.

And a chart to follow, showing which of the most crowded countries are growing the fastest:

Meanwhile, you can check the top 10 countries with the fastest population growth.

How about the country with the most smiling faces? Check out the happiest countries.

And the grand finale: our population data round-up in the form of a Dashboard.

That’s today’s Data Dosage. Thanks for being our Data Amigo. It’s a big world out there and we love having you as our friend. J

If embedding live data in your blogs or websites wasn't cool enough, we have added yet another functionality: embedding charts. And of course if you create a chart from a data stream that's constantly updating that means live charts!

You can create charts from data streams on your dashboard, and the just click Actions>Embed to retrieve the code to paste on your blog or website, it's that easy!

Below an example of a nice chart showing the vartiations of metal commodities, the chart is fed from this data stream and now the chart changes as the values on the market move.

Go ahead, create your own live charts and embed them everywhere!

Do you spend countless hours collecting data from the web?

Analysts spend over 70% of their time collecting data for their every day work and only 30% in analysis.

Maximize your productivity with Junar and let us do the hard part.

What's Junar?

Junar is a platform that allows users to extract data from the web and manage it from one single site. It's designed to be very easy to collect data from webpages, just add your URL in the collect page and start creating your own data streams (conections between Junar and a website or file on the web). 

Stop wasting time copy/pasting values, downloading files or going back everytime you need to update: Junar keeps your data updated automatically and in real-time.

Integrate data in Junar to your everyday tools like Google Spreadsheets or MS Excel. Let us update your documents for you, no more copy pasting, no more errors, no more time consuming in updating your data.

Create your own dashboards for easy access, add 'live' graphs and embed them to your websites. Certainly your blog/website visitors will bennefit from fresh data and graphs.

Change the way you collect, track and use data forever.

Viewing large sets of data is many times painfull. This problem is worst whenever you have a table with a header and when you scroll down you loose sight of it. Now, whenever you embed a Junar data stream you can freeze as many rows as you want so viewing them it's a breeze. For example, here we have a data stream that's particularly long (...most common men names in the US) and lets say I want to embed it on my blog but keep the first row frozen, so Name, % Frecuency, Aprox Number and Rank can be fixed on top and don't move as users scroll down the data.

Now if you are on a data stream details (viewing a single data stream) you can click ACTIONS>EMBED and now you'll have a new field called Freeze that allows you to set how many rows you want to stay frozen (fixed)

Finally the data stream is now embedded and if you scroll down the first row (now in grey) will remain fixed for your viewing comfort.

As we settle in Chile, the development team starts to speed up as more people come onboard. We are very very close to sign on board two-three new members to the dev team which will lead to Junar going to Warp Speed to our Beta Launch new year. 

Next week we will have the first meeting of the 'Beta Testing Unit' a group formed by students that will 'test drive' Junar. More info next week.
