CNET's The Big Picture
George Siemens at elearnspace noticed elearnspace: The Big Picture
I just noticed this at CNET news - they are connecting their stories using a network-like map to show how they relate to each other. Great idea.
If you click on any main story, you will see the story on the left and, just below the advertising, The Big Picture associated with the story in question that shows other stories, companies and topics that interrelate. You can go to a full screen version to navigate through their stories, topics and people. And at least in Firefox there was no plugin to add. Once you get used to the navigation (just click on a box to center and see what's related to that box), it's an interesting way to review the news CNET covers.
