Extreme Information Design

April 2, 2004 at 2:46 PM

Here is an interesting use of information design. Apparently the site takes stories found in Google News and translates them into this newsmap visualization. The bigger stories get more realestate. The colors categorize the stories by topic (sports, tech, business, etc). There are a ton of other things going on here that I have yet to figure out, but plug away at it and see how it works. Pretty amazing, or as Cal put it "spectacular." [from iamcal]
