Hi!, If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or sign up for free email updates.. Thanks for visiting!
Here’s a fun way to catch up with the latest and breaking news around the world.. watch it unfold on a 3-D globe. Yahoo! NewsGlobe allows you to browse Yahoo! News top stories on a 3-D globe.
Yahoo! NewsGlobe consists of three basic pieces: a Yahoo! News Top Stories RSS feed, a geo-encoding web service from Yahoo! Maps, and a free, open-source library of 3D classes for ActionScript 3 called Papervision3D. Yahoo! NewsGlobe loads the Y! News RSS feed every few minutes and extracts the dateline for each story. As it is based on Shockwave flash, NewsGlobe can be viewed as online web application or to be embedded off-network as a scaled-down customizable badge. It could also be integrated into a Yahoo! Widget or packaged as an Adobe AIR application to run locally on the desktop.
NewGlobe consists of two modes - (i) Autoplay Mode and (ii) Interactive mode. With the Autoplay mode, NewsGlobe displays latest news automatically while the Interactive mode alllows users to click and display news interactively.

Looks like a good idea to have a globe
