Hi,

The members of this list might be interested in this new way of
representing news headlines (This Public Beta is online since yesterday
:) )

http://www.newsisfree.com/newsmap/

NewsKnowledge and The Hive Group have joined forces to bring you News
Maps, visual maps of the NewsIsFree headline database. News Maps allow
you to quickly scan dozens of news articles and instantly understand
what's being reported all over the world. Each square in the News Map is
an article. You can obtain additional detail on each article by moving
your mouse over it. You can read an article by clicking on it. 

The Hive Group's Honeycomb algorithm organizes news headlines by source.
Size and Color information indicate article age and popularity. You can
easily filter and rearrange you results to view articles that meet
certain criteria, or that contain certain text.

We hope you enjoy our News Maps and encourage you to explore these new
tools. We hope that News Maps will allow you to access news more quickly
and comprehensively than you ever thought possible. 

Tell me what you think about it! (best off-list)

Cheers
Pino
