I discovered 2 new free services using visual mapping to help you learn more, better and faster on art and news:
– LivePlasma: if you like Miles Davis, you will like John Coltrane and Bill Evans. Let that engine map predictively your taste according to your favorite artist, movie director, actor. An excellent way to discover new artists…
– NewsMap: quoting “Newsmap is an application that visually reflects the constantly changing landscape of the Google News news aggregator. A treemap visualization algorithm helps display the enormous amount of information gathered by the aggregator”. It works on all languages. An easy way to know at once and instantly what is happening in the world
