That site makes no sense man. Half the things can't be clicked. It needs a LOT of work before it is usable.

Most of it wasn't even readable. What is the site even about?

//edit, I feel repeating the name of the site would be mean... :(

let me try to explain- the site is about making visual graphs using news/weather etc content- it is not about reading news or get some more info about it- just dumping the content here and somehow create some dynamic visuals using that..........

also, it is not just news, i tried to get content on movies, weather, restaurants, city areas and more - and then somehow create visuals out of it.

its very creative! It would be nice if you can drag the small junk text lines and maybe they even bounce off each other when you move them around...its interesting :)

to me it just looks mess. Your head is in the right place but I would check out the Digg Labs (http://labs.digg.com/) for inspiration on how to create effective and cool looking feed implementations (even though it's a little beyond that).

also, if it isnt about reading the news then why provide that ability? It's misleading.

yes, i will try to improve it for sure.. thanks for the feedback. however, when u click on the news- u surely can read more about it.. it is just that everything is layed out differently (kind of mess- u r right) .. and like i said- lets not just focus on the news part of it.. there are other sections - please let me know how messy they are.. or how much u can get out of them..

Personally I like it a lot. I like the messiness, it's creative. And it's technologically impressive.
