Crazy for CNN.com?
Mad about MSNBC.com?
Googly over Google News?
Well, if browsing news headlines on the internet bores you as much as it does me, you may want to check out newsmap. It’s a flash-based graphical news feed that allows you to view news headlines from 11 different countries, sorted into any of 7 different categories.
The news feeds directly from the GoogleNews aggregator and once a headline gets clicked, the article will open in a new window.
It may look confusing at first, but once you understand that the olive squares are Sports News and Red is National News and Green is Technology, than it all starts making sense. And what about the different shades? The brighter the color, the newer the headline.
Go check it out and report back here on your newsreading experience.

Dude, why do you hate on the news? I know why, no need to explain 🙂
This news thing is really cool. I added it to my News favorites. Thanks.
Hey where’s your ‘favicon’?
