Webby Winning 10x10 Offers Unique Approach to Finding News
10x10 is an interesting website that covers current events in a very unique way. The site presents each hour of news as a picture window with 100 different frames. When a surfer clicks on one of the windows relevant stories pop up related to the image. 10x10 just won the 2005 Webby Award in the Best Navigation/Structure category.
Here is how the site works (from 10x10's own description):
Each hour is presented as a picture postcard window, composed of 100 different frames, each of which holds the image of a single moment in time. Clicking on a single frame allows us to peer a bit deeper into the story that lies behind the image. In this way, we can dart in and out of the news, understanding both the individual stories and the ways in which they relate to each other.
10x10 runs with no human intervention, autonomously observing what a handful of leading international news sources are saying and showing. 10x10 makes no comment on news media bias, or lack thereof. It has no politics, nor any secret agenda; it simply shows what it finds.
