An hour is worth 100 pictures.

10X10 is an interactive site that gives a snapshot of the world at the moment. The site shows a 10X10 grid of images taken from several major news source feeds, based on the key words that show up most frequently in their top news stories. The images are updated hourly and you can click on the grid to find out what headlines the images correlate with and then follow the links to the actual articles. They even have a 10X10 set up for entire months and years.
