10x10

I followed a link from the Howies website that took me to a very interesting and original site called 10x10. 10x10 attempts to display the worlds' daily events through a series of grid like picutres. Each picutre depicting a story of the days news. The site has a detailed archive of these grids that can easily navigated through to find a wide source of information. The uses an extremely original method of combining news and image to try and give an overall image of the world each day. It's really worth checking out, even just for the site itself.













10x10 describes itself as;

"an interactive exploration of the words and pictures that define the time. The result is an often moving, sometimes shocking, occasionally frivolous, but always fitting snapshot of our world. Every hour, 10x10 collects the 100 words and pictures that matter most on a global scale, and presents them as a single image, taken to encapsulate that moment in time. Over the course of days, months, and years, 10x10 leaves a trail of these hourly statements which, stitched together side by side, form a continuous patchwork tapestry of human life.

10x10 is ever-changing, ever-growing, quietly observing the ways in which we live. It records our wars and crises, our triumphs and tragedies, our mistakes and milestones. When we make history, or at least the headlines, 10x10 takes note and remembers."

I really recommend you give this a look.
