The recently released Twingly Screensaver displays live blog headlines from around the world, with the source location visualized on an interactive 3D globe. The video below shows it in motion but be aware of two things. First, the video is sped up, your copy will not work this fast. Second, it takes a while to download the data a first so you won’t see actual headlines for a little while. Third, some of the headlines may by NSFW. Fourth, it doesn’t seem to totally like Vista. It’ll run for a while then Vista will inform you that it has stopped working, despite it seeming to still work.
