Ten by Ten is an interesting way to process current events visually.
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.
It currently pulls news from Reuters World (pronounced
Royters for those that call it
Rooters), BBC World, and NYT International News.
