NewsMap

This is cool: a website that "visually reflects the constantly changing landscape of the Google News news aggregator". You can set it for any of ten countries, or for all ten if you wish, and it'll give you an idea of the proportion of news coverage given to different stories. The difference between, say, the U.S. and Germany is pretty compelling.

If you like that, try http://www.buzztracker.org/ for a similar idea. In this case, how much of the Google News aggregator is focused on what parts of the world.

http://www.tenbyten.org/10x10.html is a neat thing sort of along those lines too.
