Imagine you were a Spanish journalist, or just someone interested in reading about Spanish matters in Spanish. You might want access to international, national and regional newspapers, radio stations, blogs and encyclopaedias. You might want to look at the Invisible Internet or a Dictionary of Proverbs, you might want to know about films or search the contents of libraries. Well, this might be the sort of thing. It's been around since 2000 and my life would have been a lot easier if I'd known about it. Beware: beautifully designed it is not.

This news site, on the other hand, is very beautiful indeed and is in fact generally rather wonderful. "10x10," its policy statement declares, "runs with no human intervention, autonomously observing what a handful of leading international news sources are saying and showing. 10x10 makes no comment on news media bias, or lack thereof. It has no politics, nor any secret agenda; it simply shows what it finds." Well, it might have no agenda, but I don't think it can help having politics.
