How to Map the Daily News

This screen saver is called MappedUp. If you’re using either Windows or OS X, you can use it, just like I do. It will not only alert you to news as it’s happening – it will also show you where it’s happening!
MappedUp continuously tracks several RSS news feeds. These are shown on the World map as either red or yellow dots. A red dot means that the feed was very recently updated. A yellow dot means it hasnt’ been updated for awhile. By hovering your mouse over a dot, you can read the title of an article. By clicking the title, you can go to the website to read the full story.
MappedUp is free to use, and you don’t have to sign up. However, if you sign up (still free), you can customize which feeds you want to have displayed on your map… and even choose specific tags you want the feeds to look for.
This isn’t just another boring news source. It’s interactive, cool and fun! It’s a great way to get all of the latest news delivered to your desktop without boring you to tears. You are in control of what news you get, and when (or if!) you choose to read it.
