10 x 10 - An Hourly Pictorial View of our World
I learned of 10 x 10 (tenbyten.org) while listening to Robert Scoble’s Overload talk from Bloggercon III on IT Conversations. From the website:
Each hour is presented as a picture postcard window, composed of 100 different frames, each of which holds the image of a single moment in time. Clicking on a single frame allows us to peer a bit deeper into the story that lies behind the image. In this way, we can dart in and out of the news, understanding both the individual stories and the ways in which they relate to each other.
What a great idea. I especially like the page for developers. It describes how one can programatically pull text and images from any day of record. A very RESTful API.
One drawback is they only draw from Reuters World News, BBC World Edition, and New York Times International News.
