Heatmap News does just that, with an added bonus: it maps out exactlywherethat news is happening.
The site collects headlines and snippets using Google News, then visualizes those headlines real-time on a world map.
snag the maps hotspots, and you’re free to see whats happening in that area.
However, I also really like the idea of connecting news to geographic location.
It makes the headline a little more palpable, connecting you to the event, in subtle a way.
Its worth checking out, and you’re free to take a look at the link below.
