Newsmap
Newsmap reflects what's on the Google News Aggregator. Just go there and browse around. You can choose the news from the US, UK, India, France, Germany, etc. You can pick World News, National, Tech, Business, etc. As you glide over the mosaic, the headlines appear as pop-ups.
It's fun to check out different culture's take on events, say comparing Italian health coverage to New Zealand's, or Indian's viewpoint of tech and the US's.
Imagine this technology coupled to Technorati and RSS. A new way to avoid info glut: "I only read the morning color bars."
Check the references if you're into the sort of thing. Ben Shneiderman's recemt;u updated Treemaps for space-constrained visualization of hierarchies is a great read.
