Since we all love to keep on top of what’s going on in the world, we thought you might like this.  The 10 x 10 website scans the RSS feeds of several leading international news sources, and captures the top 100 words used to present a “snapshot” of news for every given hour.  It also takes the images from the news sources to create a 10 x 10 grid (Macromedia Flash 6 required) with a scrolling list of all 100 words on the right margin.  Clicking on a word brings up its image along with several related news links which you can follow to read the stories in more detail.  Not only is it useful, it’s easy and just plain cool.  Not surprisingly, the top word as of this writing is “tsunami.”  Thankfully, words 4 and 7 are “aid” and “relief” respectively.
