Google News Map 2.0

newsmap

The Google News map has been relaunched to version 2.0 with a few changes.

- Rectangularized Treemap Layout: cells are as rectangular as possible, so that there is more room for headlines without chopping them off in several lines.

- Search as you Type: users can search for keywords on the top right, and Newsmap will update immediately.

- Deep Linking: users can “deep link” to any state of Newsmap. As the view is updated, the URL will update as well. This URL can copied and shared.

- Mouse Hover Newstip: news story summaries and accompanying photos are revealed when hovering over the headlines.
