WorldPop Info
Due to popular demand, here is some basic information on the
WorldPop Counter. I'll add more info. as time permits. The
number is, of course, an estimate based on trends. It is
not tied into any sort of real-time database. The trend it is
based on can be found at URL
gopher://gopher.undp.org:70/00/ungophers/popin/wdtrends/histor
and is a subpage of the
UN World Populations Estimates & Projections
gopher. I use a fairly simple regression which will only be accurate
for a few years. I'll update the formula when I get a chance.
