What’s Up is another (almost) real-time news feed that uses a map interface to display news events and stories from around the world. Green dots turn yellow when a story is released and story bubbles appear providing headlines of selected stories, all taken from RSS news feeds. The offering is not quite real-time due to technical issues but plans are afoot to make a version that sits on a computer desktop. Similar to Buzztracker, Vanishing Point and Global Attention Profiles. A clean and simple interface.
