Yahoo News Globe: New way to read news

Check out Yahoo New Globe. Set it on automatic and let the globe rotate on your browser screen showing you the important news happening across the globe. You do do it in the interactive mode as well.

The News Globe pulls out the top news new from Yahoo News Top Stories feed, runs then pass Yahoo Maps to get the latitude and longitude of each news item, and then uses 3D classes in ActionScript to get that visual experience.
