2 more news maps

If you liked the Google Newsmap site, you might want to check out these two other sites that track top stories and photos:

Google News Graph: This is a very cool Flash data visualization map, that shows a near-real time view of the names and topics listed in Google News's "In The News" sidebar, organized by date and popularity and built by Michal Migurski of Stamen Design.

"This data visualisation experiment is intended to give a high-level view of who's making news at the moment, and who made the news at specified times in the past," Migurski says on the site. "...The size of each color chip refers to the relative amount of coverage an item has received on Google News on a given day, based on total appearances in the "In The News" sidebar sampled every quarter-hour....Clicking on a color chip shows a small graph of that news item's performance over the previous month. The links at top move you forward and backward by days or weeks, back to about February."

Yahoo Tracker: This graph from programmer Peter Bradshaw shows the most popular photos from AP, Reuters and AFP as tracked by Yahoo News.
