Information Visualization
Newsmap: Mapping Google News
If you like visualization tools, you’re going to like this one. From the site, “A treemap visualization algorithm helps display the enormous amount of information gathered by the aggregator. Treemaps are traditionally space-constrained visualizations of information. Newsmap’s objective takes that goal a step further and provides a tool to divide information into quickly recognizable bands which, when presented together, reveal underlying patterns in news reporting across cultures and within news segments in constant change around the globe.” Searchblog reminds us that SmartMoney’s Map of the Market offers the same type of service with financial data. This tool has been available for several years. Thanks to BoingBoing, Bill D., and Searchblog for the tip.
