Maramushi's Newsmap takes news feeds from Google News and creates a visualisation based on the popularity of stories. It updates on the fly as news breaks with the tiles linking to the unabridged stories. Great for a snap-shot of what is going on in the world, even better for those far from home who want a quick over view of what is happening...about as much as ever it would appear.

    I appreciate how it creates a dynamic visual of the news - the colour really helps draw the eye.
