A big thx to Sven C. Koehler for the link.
Every hour, 10x10 scans the RSS feeds of several leading international news
sources, and performs an elaborate process of weighted linguistic analysis
on the text contained in their top news stories. After this process,
conclusions are automatically drawn about the hour’s most important
words. The top 100 words are chosen, along with 100 corresponding images,
culled from the source news stories. At the end of each day, month, and
year, 10x10 looks back through its archives to conclude the top 100 words
for the given time period. In this way, a constantly evolving record of our
world is formed, based on prominent world events, without any human input.
