Newsmap

Woah! What a toy! The Guardian has been known to do something similar in print, but this is quite beautifully elegant:

"Newsmap is an application that visually reflects the constantly changing landscape of the Google News news aggregator... Newsmap does not pretend to replace the googlenews aggregator. It's objective is to simply demonstrate visually the relationships between data and the unseen patterns in news media. It is not thought to display an unbiased view of the news, on the contrary it is thought to ironically accentuate the bias of it. "

I'll tell you something - this brings out the Chris Morris in me.
