Let’s get visual
Mapping everywhere:
Buzztracker takes the Google News feed and maps it, highlighting the geographical location of each story showing the world’s hot news spots. It also has a long archive, showing the history of certain locations in the news over time.
Newsmap takes news stories from Google News and maps out a visual hierarchy. The goal is to show what stories are thought of as important. The web site says: "It is not thought to display an unbiased view of the news, on the contrary it is thought to ironically accentuate the bias of it."
Grokker promises a "new way to look at search" and maps out search results in a 3D dashboard, trying hard to establish "grok" as a verb…
James Fallows, in his "Techno Files" column for the New York Times, pinpoints at the one obscured location in Google’s satellite-view maps. No, it’s not the CIA headquarters, it’s not the Capitol, and it’s not the White House (although its roofs and two neighbooring buildings have been slightly Photoshopped to conceal protective sytems, as Fallows reveals). It’s another, rather unknown address: 1 Observatory Circle - the home of Dick Cheney.

Here’s another one of note:
