News Maps Visually analyze the current headlines in an easy to use single graphical view Newsmap Concept
NewsKnowledge and The Hive Group have joined forces to bring you News Maps, visual maps of the NewsIsFree headline database. News Maps allow you to quickly scan dozens of news articles and instantly understand what’s being reported all over the world. Each square in the News Map is an article. You can obtain additional detail on each article by moving your mouse over it. You can read an article by clicking on it.
The Hive Group’s Honeycomb algorithm organizes news headlines by source. Size and Color information indicate article age and popularity (described below). You can easily filter and rearrange you results to view articles that meet certain criteria, or that contain certain text.
We hope you enjoy our News Maps and encourage you to explore these new tools. We hope that News Maps will allow you to access news more quickly and comprehensively than you ever thought possible.
Using the power browser, and if you have a premium newsmap subscription, you can see newsmaps for your custom pages, for all categories, and even for search results!
Popularity Newsrank Concept
To make the Newsmap useful we introduced a newsrank algorithm. This algorithm takes into account a variety of anonymous data we collect. Among these are
Ranking of clicks on stories from this news source
Ranking of subscriptions to this news source
How popular is a news headlines (Ranking of it’s clicks against a click band)
How many Weblogs refer to this headline
Your clicks on specific news stories in the Newsmap - but also the clicks on our freely available RSS feeds get into the counting. The algorithm above is subject to change over time and ideas are welcome. One of the effects is that stories from a major news source (e.g. CNN) start with a higher popularity ranking than a story from an unknown Weblog.

There is also a software that use the same graphical approach to view all the contents in 1 single page
SequoiaView was developed by the computer science department of the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven and can be downloaded for free.
Ever wondered why your hard disk is full? Or what directory is taking up most of the space? When using conventional disk browsing tools, such as Windows Explorer, these questions may be hard to answer. With SequoiaView however, they can be answered almost immediately. SequoiaView uses a visualization technique called cushion treemaps to provide you with a single picture of the entire contents of your hard drive. You can use it to locate those large files that you haven’t accessed in one year, or to quickly locate the largest picture files on your drive.
