Monday's Interactive Feature over at nytimes.com was spectacular. Take a look at the screenshot. The idea is to display the state of the nation in single word increments. The words you see slide to the right to let in new responses. You respond by clicking on a word and pressing submit or typing a new word and choosing whether you are currently employed or unemployed.
Give it a shot - I'm not sure how long it'll be up, but it's a great marriage of concept, aesthetic, and execution.
