Startup Idea: News Tracking and Visualization Software

Startup idea to develop a software that automatically tracks online news stories from various sources, creates a visual timeline of primary events, and indicates popularity based on article views. Ideal for freelance journalists needing a linear way to review and analyze news stories.

I'm a freelance journalist and I would really like a program that automatically tracks and all online news stories and creates a visual timeline based on the primary events outline in those news stories.

Instead of random news search results, it's important to have information in a linear fashion from a variety of news sources.

I'm new to journalism and there's a lot I need to know about past and current stories. Software like this would be amazing and save a lot of time.

It would also be great to have a way of indicating the popularity of each article based on views so you can estimate about how educated people are on specific topics and when the're reading specific articles.
