Ten by Ten… a look into this moment…
Wired News is running a story that clued me into one of the coolest web-design projects I’ve ever seen. According to the website, 10×10 “is an interactive exploration of the words and pictures that define the time.” The web site’s main content is a picture that is composed 100 smaller pictures that are all based on 100 words found in a few of the top news websites RSS streams. The web site runs an algorithm that looks at the news feeds and then attempts to sum up what is happening in the world by picking 100 words and pictures. There is also a more interactive page that allows you to see the words associated with each picture as well as links to articles that the pictures and words were captured from. The web site is updated every hour and produces a new picture and interactive page when the search is completed. The picture below is an example (I removed the dynamicly generated picture to lower the bandwidth usage from their web site) picture created by the web site. (the pictures that make up the larger picture are copywritten by the news companies that were their source, so please be mindful of their rights).
