Shared Spaces Updates: Check out News Maps

The Parlano whitepaper looks interesting, I downloaded that and
will read it tomorrow. But NewsIsFree News Maps! Wow!
I
saw this news item earlier in the day and for some reason just didn't
feel like reading about it. Some days those news items just don't
catch you. Maybe if they had a picture…well Michael did and,
wow. This is amazing. I might actually try to remember my
NewsIsFree password for this.
I've included Michael's screenshot (click on the thumb for the larger version) because the picture says it all.

Then go and visit the news maps.
Michael's comment on his post is exactly on the mark “This holds some prospects for visualizing email threads, discussion databases, and interaction between blogs. Interesting.” Okay maybe it's a little bit of an understatement. For years people
have been looking for a way of being able to glance at their e-mail and
just know (grok) what is important. I think this technology
represents a step towards it. A quick visit to The Hive Group will give you a sense of the potential.
I hope we see a desktop-based application of this very, very soon.
