10x10
Yet another intriguing way to present the latest news: 10x10 presents an hourly ranking of news stories in photos and keywords.
Their website describes it best: "Every hour, 10x10 scans the RSS feeds of several leading international news sources, and performs an elaborate process of weighted linguistic analysis on the text contained in their top news stories. After this process, conclusions are automatically drawn about the hour's most important words. The top 100 words are chosen, along with 100 corresponding images, culled from the source news stories. At the end of each day, month, and year, 10x10 looks back through its archives to conclude the top 100 words for the given time period. In this way, a constantly evolving record of our world is formed, based on prominent world events, without any human input."
There are some great notes for developers as well.

Sites like this, like mappr.com and newsmap, succeed not just in displaying and presenting information well, but moreso in the way they *use* it. I love how data can be used to make something beautiful like this.

That is really cool. The UI is very nice. I'm not sure if it is useful or not but time will tell. Great idea nonetheless.
