Very nice.

I see at the bottom you say "based on newsmap." Are you getting your data from them (which in turn aggregates google news), or is it just your design that's based on newsmap?

I like your look better than newsmap, but newsmap has more news.

This would be a cool way to view HN.

I wonder if you could make it so you could give your site any aggregatable site, and see the map?
