Ein ungewöhnliches Online-Projekt hat die Redaktion von "Washingtonpost.com" ins Leben gerufen. Leser können die Überschriften von Nachrichten und Storys von der Webseite nehmen und "remixen" - also in eigene Angebote integrieren und anders verwenden.

Adam du Vander gestaltete mit ein bisschen Hilfe von Google eine Weltkarte, auf der die Anzahl der eine Region betreffenden Geschichten farblich dargestellt ist. Grüne Balken zeigen niedrige Nachrichten-Aktivität, rote Balken hohe.

Both mashups listed on Spiegel are really bad examples of visualizing news feeds. And the washington post is not the first news company that pops up feeds. I have to say, that I somehow did not get the point of what is really new about it. Google News got feeds for every news channel (o_O)

Check for example Marumushi Newsmap which was born more than one and a half year ago. Or all the Mashups out there which present news and informations 100 times better than the boring "news cloud" and "world map" listed on Spiegel.
