Newsmap takes the latest stories from Google's News Aggregator and displays them in a visual map that, in just one glance, gives you a quick impression as to the patterns that appear from news throughout different cultures and countries around the world. It does this by assigning each headline a colour based on its catagory and a space based on the number of related articles that are also linked to that particular story. The biggest stories of the moment will appear as large blocks on the upper left, while stories receiving the least amount of attention will appear as smaller blocks on the lower right. You can sort the results according to country and category, and of course go directly to the news story itself just by clicking on it.
