Is this how the future search looks?

With this futuristic interface 10x10 you can see the news literally on the net, I mean, grid of pictures in the news, each linked to a set of news stories linked by a common topic.

Here's how it works:

"Every hour, 10x10 scans the RSS feeds of several leading international news sources, and performs an elaborate process of weighted linguistic analysis on the text contained in their top news stories. After this process, conclusions are automatically drawn about the hour's most important words. The top 100 words are chosen, along with 100 corresponding images, culled from the source news stories. At the end of each day, month, and year, 10x10 looks back through its archives to conclude the top 100 words for the given time period. In this way, a constantly evolving record of our world is formed, based on prominent world events, without any human input. So, you can scroll down the sides for a word that looks interesting, or wander among the thumbnail pictures; click on something you like and you are taken to a detailed version of the picture along with the stories that are relevant to that word."

Check this out for yourself

Chakra - Those are interesting comments. I believe that this tool is at a development stage and I am sure they would take care of these things before rolling it on.

I like it..

But I am not sure how it'd be appreciated by all & sundry. Suppose you want to know the news abt India, currently there is a pic of Irfan Pathan... but how do I check it if they put up some totally new picture that I don't know about?

but all said, this is quite creative and nice.
