an alternative 3D view to read, play & interact with news from msnbc.com online. users are able to customize news channels, sort them by theme or time, browse & save specific news stories, or just gaze the news go by in auto-mode. reminds me of brynsbrain & flickr tiltviewer.

also see the recent post about inviting you to vote for the creative visualization of news by msnbc at the webbys awards.

Well I am not sure how useful it is, but I had fun loading 1400+ news stories and watching it swirl around like a tornado with informational debris. Its still uses needle-in-a-haystack style of display though, so it can't be too useful for finding what you want.

Nice Silverlight app... Oh wait, that’s no it can’t be... on a Microsoft site? Flash?
