A picture of blocks that is. The bigger the block, the more buzz the story attracted from news makers and consumers.

I’m surprised to see the recent “Tiger Woods Adultery Scandal” block is equal to the the “2016 Olympic Selection” block, but then again the Tiger Woods story has had a brief run, being that the scandal broke so close to the end of this year. Both blocks put together look to be the same size as the “Henry Louis Gates Arrest” block in the center column of blocks beside “Economic Crisis”.

Jeez it’s like news Legos or something, but wow what a great way to see the biggest news stories of the year, right?
