cnet news.com (news.com.com) has a neat feature. It's either new or I just hadn't tried it out before -- "The Big Picture". When you are on a page about a single story, let's say " Microsoft to bring Hotmail onto the Desktop", click on "THE BIG PICTURE" link (dark red background, white letters) in the right column next to the story. Then click on the small blue " full screen" text link to get the largest view.
Play with it. This interactive utility shows relationships of stories, topics, and companies. If you hold your mouse over a story image, a little box slides down and contains a link to the story itself. You can choose to display stories, topics, companies, or any combination. Experiment. Have fun! cnet also has a " Learn more" page.
