Visualizing Google News
Those who are fans of Google News will find two visualization tools pretty interesting. The first is called newsmaps, which creates a tree map that tries to express the underlying importance of various news stories. The other is more abstract and, I think, more interesting, called Stamen, which traces the presence of news stories over the course of a week and shows their relative importance each day.
I will try to ensure that these two additional news toys will not distract me too much from work. Not that I don't have enough distractions, already.
