In the final version, news browsing records are represented by a circle, with their colors determined by the word length of their respective countries.
Mouse hovering over one circle shows their country, website host country, title, columns. Some titles are missing in the original data, several link-clicking shows that they are often not written in the Latin alphabet, therefore these titles are shown as "title not written in the latin alphabet".
Estimated travel time by plane (from France) was also added, with cruising speed of plane as 780km/h and take-off/landing time as 0.5h/flight, to make the distance seem more personal. It is a flawed way to visualize travel speed given that some of the countries are not connected to France by land, even though realistically, not everyone would have the privilege of taking the plane.
Another metric was added to represent latitude of the web server hosting the news website. Despite the fact that some of the countries those news articles talk about are in the Southern Hemisphere, all but two news articles visited were hosted by servers in the Northern Hemisphere.
The project was done in 3 days.
