Life24 is a geographical map that conceptually represents "world awareness", by visualizing various visual information sources to their origin on a world map. The online sources are parsed to create a world map of (webcam) images & various news feeds. this world map is mapped on a grid of 24 vertical slots by 15 horizontal slots. the 24 vertical slots provide a visual interpretation of the 24 hours, whilst the 15 horizontal slots are (still?) arbitrary.

Nice idea. Unfortunaly the resolution is very low (you can only recongnise continents and not specific countries or regions). It would be interesting to have the possibility to zoom in the map as well as the links towards the original sources.
