Marumushi created a novel way of presenting the news. He uses a treemap visualization algorithm to cluster news from Google News into rectangles.

Thus the larger the rectangle, the more it’s being broadcast on the web at that moment. Thus showing what’s really hot and not-so-hot at that moment.

Check back in a couple of days and the rectangles would have changed to reflect new news. 

Lest you start thinking it’s a replacement for Google News, Marumushi has this to say, “Newsmap does not pretend to replace the google news aggregator. Its objective is to simply demonstrate visually the relationships between data and the unseen patterns in news media.”
