CNN.com’s Super Tuesday numbers

CNN.com sent us its Super Tuesday stats: 97 million page views, 11.9 million unique visits (both are new records since CNN.com relaunched on July 1st), 600,000 live streams and a total of 2.7 million video streams served. CNN.com’s blog Political Ticker generated just over 1 million page views. On air, CNN beat Fox News and MSNBC in both total viewers and the demo.

Spokane newspaper’s cool ‘help’ map

The Spokane, WA area has been pounded by snow - with mountains of plowed snow popping up everywhere. So the folks at the Spokesman Review newspaper launched a cool Google Maps mashup that allows people to ask for — and offer — their help.

Very cool.

LiveNewsCameras.com aggregates live Fox feeds

This is fascinating. The team at Fox Chicago wondered what it would be like if users were able to see the same live satellite feeds as they see at the station. So they built LiveNewsCameras.com — a compilation of Fox affiliate feeds across the country. The site even has a live moderator, Kat Bockli, who explains what’s happening and what’s coming up. And they’re sending out text alerts of upcoming events via Twitter, which is integrated into the right column. “We are aggregating all the live feeds we can get,” said News Director Andrew Finlayson. “We think of this as an experiment on many levels.” It’s a “terrific concept,” explains Anthony Moor, who punched up the site during Super Tuesday. “And they did it in three weeks.”

So, what do you think?
