If you're still associating Sweden with ABBA, Volvo, pancake piles, Pippi Longstocking, pornography and Ann-Margret's birthplace, get with the times! Sweden's leadin'! This slice of Scandinavia is where IT's at, according to IDC. Researchers say Sweden has the best information economy on earth. The top ranking is based on the nation's killer IT infrastructure, sweet educational systems, smart nurturing of IT business growth, cheap and widely available broadband service, and Net-savvy citizenry. Maybe ABBA should remix one of their old hits to celebrate -- call it "Dancing Geek." Norway iced the number two spot, Switzerland peaked at number three, the U.S. was fourth, and Denmark was fifth.
