News Maps
I love News Maps. These are (mostly) little web apps that analyze Google News and produce graphical ways to organize all that info. My favorite is Stamen's, which arranges the terms from the "In The News" box on the Google News home page from the last seven days. It lets you know who has gotten more press and who has had less over the last week. Noticeably, Google itself never showed up, even during the IPO craze. Guess they're biased... against themselves.
If anybody finds any cool apps, feel free to post them here.
