CNET Related Article Mapping

Many news sites use some sort of list of article related to the story you are reading. This information gives the reader more background on the current story and keeps them on the site longer.

CNET has a new graphical way of doing this that I saw today on this story http://msn-cnet.com.com/Sun+servers+heading+back+to+Intel+chips/2100-1010_3-6151872.html?part=msn-cnet&subj=ns_2510&tag=mymsn.

This is the map off of that story. Article Mapping

When you mouse over one of the items it gives you the options of putting it in the center or reading the story. Interwoven in red and green they have placed overarching topics and companies that are involved or related to the story. Clicking on an item re centers it and takes you to the story.

This is a really interesting way to graphically represent how all of the stories link together using something more visually pleasing than a list.
