News website with a difference
Almaniac Kayla from California sent in 10 X 10, which is hard to describe but worth a peek. It's certainly a nifty bit of scripting, in Perl, MySQL, PHP, and Macromedia Flash.
In its own words:
"10x10 ('ten by ten') is an interactive exploration of the words and pictures that define the time. The result is an often moving, sometimes shocking, occasionally frivolous, but always fitting snapshot of our world. Every hour, 10x10 collects the 100 words and pictures that matter most on a global scale, and presents them as a single image, taken to encapsulate that moment in time. Over the course of days, months, and years, 10x10 leaves a trail of these hourly statements which, stitched together side by side, form a continuous patchwork tapestry of human life."
10 X 10 is the brainchild of Jonathan Harris who is cleverer than anyone I've ever heard of and made Word Count and the very cute ThreatMeter (check out the products).
