10x10

Okay, so in the past i have been guilty of not paying quite enough attention to the news. Time to remedy that, homepage set to bbc news and let's keep an eye on this

'Ten by ten' is described as an 'interactive exploration of the words and pictures that define the time'.

How it works: "Every hour, 10x10 scans the RSS feeds of several leading international news sources, and performs an elaborate process of weighted linguistic analysis on the text contained in their top news stories. After this process, conclusions are automatically drawn about the hour's most important words. The top 100 words are chosen, along with 100 corresponding images, culled from the source news stories. At the end of each day, month, and year, 10x10 looks back through its archives to conclude the top 100 words for the given time period. In this way, a constantly evolving record of our world is formed, based on prominent world events, without any human input."

The system gives you a snapshot of what is going on in the world and can be viewed by the hour, day, month or year.
