10×10 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 10×10-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 10×10 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.
