newsmap

Someones made a newsmap from Google’s newspage. Awesome.
Basically its a graphic representation of Google’s News Page.
Google scours the net constantly looking for news stories and then combines all their searches and runs the stories that are highly linked to on their news page. So rather than getting one newspaper or television station telling you “what’s important” you get a broad spectrum of media outlets telling you “what’s important.”
If 25 newspapers report on Peter Jennings then it is bumped above a story 2 newspapers reported about a plane crash in Alabama. The newsmap is like a pie chart, made of squares, giving larger boxes to stories with more links or “importance.”
“Newsmap is an application that visually reflects the constantly changing landscape of the Google News news aggregator. “
