Heat Map News Shows What’s Happening Around the World
If you are a news lover, there are many apps and services that will help you keep track of what is happening in the world . Heatmap News does exactly that, but with the added bonus of displaying exactly where the news is happening.
The site collects titles and snippets using Google News and then renders those titles in real time on a world map. Click on the hotspots on the map and you will see what is happening in this area. You can also filter by time frame: news for the last hour, today, this week, or for a specific date.
The funny thing about this tool is that you can visualize your news and select headlines based on location. However, I also really like the idea of linking news to geographic location. This makes the headline more tangible and subtly connects you to the event.
It’s worth checking out and you can take a look at the link below.
