About us

Inside the Web is a blog exploring the intersection of the web, international development, and the World Bank, written by Bank staff that work on online strategy, editorial, content, governance, and technology.

And we're back...

Things have been quiet here for a while because a bunch of us have been out in Istanbul for the World Bank and IMF Annual Meetings. Expect more posts in the next few days, there's a lot going on over the next little while.

A quick glimpse of what to expect over the next week or so:

 

In the meantime...

In the lead-up to the Annual Meetings, the web team did a lot of work on updating the World Bank's Financial Crisis page to include feature stories, Q&As, short video interviews with Bank experts, and my favorite part: an interactive financial crisis timeline highlighting key moments that have affected the world's economy, and some of the World Bank's work to address the global economic crisis.

Interactive Financial Crisis Timeline

Kudos to Molly and everyone else that worked hard to get the timeline up and running. Click on the image above to access the timeline, and if you have any thoughts about it, please let us know.

Is the timeline an effective way to present the Bank's work and other relevant information in context? We'd love to hear from you.
