10×10 News – Visual Information Project

10x10
In a world where information overload is increasingly common – visualisation projects, dealing with how we view information and the design behind it, is becoming vital to a good user experience.

It is said that most people respond the most to visual cues, which is no surprise – After all, a picture is supposed to be worth a thousand words. 10X10 news is a service which grabs headlines every hour from Reuters, BBC and the NY TImes, and displays pictures from those sources on a 10X10 grid, and ranks it by relevance, giving you a pictorial look at world news and what is happening at this very hour at a single glance, with links to the actual stories available.

10×10 news also keeps an archive so it’s possible to extend this functionality going back almost 3 years now. Absolutely free of course – just like all the services blogged about on this site.
