The Cloud

January 5th, 2006 by James Omdahl


Here in Colorado, we can see the clouds roll in from miles away. I can never tell what type of clouds they are: cirrus, cumulus, stratus…they sound more like car models than clouds to me!

However, there is a new cloud in town. The Newzingo news cloud has drifted onto my desktop. It lets me see all the current news topics in one organized view…and I can get the entire worlds headlines from one “cloud.”

What is the news cloud and how does it work?

  • Monitors Google news and places the current topics into the cloud
  • A topic appears larger within the cloud if there are more headlines related to it
  • The cloud changes as the news headlines change…theyre constantly in motion
  • Think of how this concept could help our current projects: what if you had a retail site that could display products in bold that were in stock or had a coupon offer? Or a financial site that would display the hottest plans in bold based upon live data?

    We are getting into some Jetsons-type stuff–and I like it…!
