10x10 is a good example of how innovations in interface design can take us beyond accepted communication norms such as the newspaper headline.  And it demonstrates the potential of RSS feeds very well.

I can think of several examples where a 10x10-type interface would open up new possibilities for insight and understanding:

• An email inbox
• A 360 degree performance review report
• The seat assignment screen on United's self-serve check in kiosks
• An accounts receivable aging report

Can you think of others?  Drop me a line or leave a comment below.

Hello DW,

No, I hadn't seen the Marumushi site. I like it, and it reminds me of this stock market tracker:

However, I like the 10x10 approach more because I find it easier to scan a page of photos (and then roll over the photo to see text) than to scan a page of prose boxes, each scaled to a different degree.

Thank for perusing metacool.
