BBC Interactive Popular News Map

August 22, 2006

What a great way to access popular news information, via a continuously updated map.  Regions are highlighted on the map, one clicks on a region of interest, its name pops up and simultaneously the headlines shift into a new order. 

Imagine having a library set up like this.  One could map the sections of the library to show the most popular titles being accessed, or have the library base maps reflect the library’s collection by theme, or access number, one clicks onto a region of the collections such as geography or physics and the most popular publications or most recently accessed publications pop up in a list!  Or looking at the most popular content the internet this way!
