A couple of quick links showing a converging trend between zoomable interfaces and zoomable data:

1. Microsoft Research Street Slide View (youtube video). Unfortunately, they are still stuck in the "computer mouse" world.

2. Flipboard interface that takes advantage of new information flows.


In system terms, we're seeing emergence of a new Payload that matches capabilities of the Tool. This indicates the beginning of a major technology shift in the information technology industry.
