News at a Glance

Posted by Cliff on from the pictures-not-words dept.

Paradoxically, this site is showing all the pictures found in news and reviews over the Internet. Nothing to read there, just thumbnail galleries sorted by theme (with, of course, links to the original articles). This format is showing some interesting side-effects. First, you can see what's hot lately because the same picture is repeated over your screen. It is also very effective when looking for reviews of tech toys or computer gizmos... spotting a CPU or a japanese robot among other items is almost instantaneous. Another thing to notice is that pictures of human faces seem to keep the lead over pie charts and battlefields... they are a good clue to figure what an article is about."

    Where are the hotshot Indian programmers the Wall Street Journal keeps telling us about?

    Maybe they're wherever the profits from the dot-con companies went.

    So you mean there are people carefully tending the goatse.cx site? Making sure that it keeps up with the season, putting jolly sprigs of holly on the picture for Xmas and so on ala google? Wow. I just assumed it was a one-off that will eventually go away...
