Buzztracker.Org

Buzztracker, from Chin Music Press, offers a realtime map of world news events based on Google News RSS feeds.

Howe it works... the larger the red dot, the more prevalent the story. The lines represent the relationship between the news event and the location of the press covering the story. The darker the line, the more publishers reporting the story.

It's pretty interesting how the MSM stays fixated on certain parts of the world. But when you are are business and sensationalism sells, you go where the sensation is....

Thanks to Jim for the heads-up on this site.
