BBC World News Widget
I put this widget together for the Backstage Widget Competition. It’s a Flash-based widget that shows the latest world headlines on a revolving 3D map. For each item in the XML feed, it shows the headline, the short summary and an indicator showing where in the world the item originated. The headlines are refreshed every 15 minutes.
Mouseover the map to pause and click to view the current story.
