Check out this cool real-time widget website, Now Widgets.

Sprint widgets are small content feeds operating within the Site for personal, non-commercial use.

Now Widgets

An assortment of interesting facts and figures beautifully composed using neat info graphics. A feast for the eyes and mind, especially on a nice big screen.

I haven’t spent the time to drill into each widget and determine how up to the minute and accurate they are, but the slick presentation and ability to display so much varied information in a single, dynamic way is quite impressive.

Found on CoolInfographics.

Haha, they sure had fun playing with the concept of “now.” At one point I heard the voice in the background say, “how about a big bowl of now?”

I like how they’ve included sources for some of the information, citing the U.S. Census Bureau for the number of houses being built and the U.S. Forest Service for the number of forests cut down. (Click the small arrows on these panels.)
