10x10: 100 Words and Pictures That Define the Time

 
Wow, check this out! 10x10 is a program created to search through news media outlets all the time and see what the most common words and pictures are. Then, every hour it creates a grid of the top 100 and saves them in the site's archives. So, I can tell that for the last three days the media has been pretty fixated on the conclave to choose the next pope.

Or, for instance, on our 13th anniversary, the #1 headline was Taiwan has condemned a new Chinese law giving Beijing the legal right to use force against the island if it moves towards declaring formal independence. Yeah, those were the days! OK, I admit it, I had NO IDEA this was going on...

They have only been archiving since last November, so I'm going to keep watching this.
