Every hour, 10×10 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, 10×10 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.

  1. Hi John,

    The 10×10 is a really cool site. You must have referenced my Dad’s site,
    http://www.americanswhotellthetruth.org . Thanks for that. I was looking for where your
    link was but I couldn’t find it. Can you show me?

    All the best,

    Aran
