This sounds very intriguing to me so I downloaded and installed it (Vista Ultimate). It installed fine, or at least went most of the way. When I double clicked the desktop icon to run it the first time it said it needed to do a one-time process, then wouldn't do it because it said I had to be logged on as an administrator -- which I was. Any ideas?

PS -- I am still irritated at you for stealing the name Timbukone before I could think of it ;-)

>For all you news addicts here is a little app I put together for fun. News Maps visually reflect news aggregated from numerous sources including Google News, Reuters, Wall Street Journal, NY Times, Washington Post, BBC and many more news outlets from around the world. The information is displayed in
>a Treemap which are space-constrained visualizations of information.
>
>The most popular stories occupy the largest rectangles while less popular stories fall into progressively smaller rectangles. You can see all the headlines and read any story just by clicking the headline.
>
>You can view several News Maps at the same time, each showing news from as many as 15 different news categories. The maps automatically refresh every 15 minutes and then show the movement of stories in respect of their growing or declining popularity.
