11 Sep 2009Yet another news aggregator visualization. But this one spins and is in color!! Ok, perhaps that’s a little snarky — there is some clever design here, but I question how useful it is – maybe if it was on a wall sized touchscreen or something.

Google News Treemap
11 May 2009I could have sworn I posted this before, but it took Kelso’s post to remind me that I hadn’t. It’s a very nice interactive google-news aggregator:
