Vanishing Point is along the same lines as BuzzTracker, profiled earlier in this blog. It shows what countries are in the news - and those that aren’t disappear from the map. The data comes from newspapersthat “are some of the most widely-read from countries that make up the Group of Seven (G7), the seven most industrialized nations in the world.” Bit of a slant, as a result, but it is argued that the G7 countries’ “unilateral and collective influence affect fundamental aspects of most countries' social and economic fates.”
