Visualizing Stories On Current Events With Newsmap

Posted by simoniker on from the zeinab-badawi dept.

hrbrmstr writes "Marcos Weskamp and Dan Albritton have created Newsmap, an extremely cool way of visualizing news stories. The site takes the aggregated content from Google News (globally) and maps it out into a visual space. That way, you get an immediate feel for news patterns (what the media in any particular region is gravitating to) - there's quite a bit of potential here."

    Also, articles in sector 24-D are down for maintenance and the MPF ( Moderator Patrol Force ) has had som skirmishes with GNAA trolls in sectors 12-C, 13-C, 13-D, 13-E and 14-D. Beware of crossfire and goatses.

    This one isn't a hoax. This actually looks like a cool and potentially useful product.

    The last time I believed anyone on slashdot I ended up with goatse all over my monitor.
