In a previous blog I discussed the concept of the Rich Internet Experience ofnot just graphics with depth (a la Photosynth), but with text. And, while subject "clouds" in del.icio.us and Microsoft Listas suit, I recently found a most interesting news site.
Check out the "newsmap" at Marumushi.com.
Marumushi.com uses a technique called treemaps. Using the Google news aggregator, the tree map uses a "visualization algorithm" to display "the enormous amount of information gathered by the aggregator" (Newsmap About Concept). In essence, it is providing us with a view of patterns of how news is reported around the world.
